SYSTEM HUB / PITCHED ROOFING

The covering sheds water. The build-up manages the roof.

Tiles or shingles are the visible finish, but the underlay, ventilation, insulation, vapour control and junction details do much of the hidden work. This section shows where each layer sits and what it is expected to do.

THREE DISTINCT BRANCHES

First identify which part of the roof you are dealing with.

Eurovent covers roof and envelope control layers, MIDA covers the current shingle range, and the TECHNONICOL archive records my earlier experience with SHINGLAS systems.

THE COMMON PRINCIPLE

Most pitched-roof problems start below the visible covering.

Drainage, ventilation, insulation, moisture control and airtightness have to remain continuous through the main roof and every junction.

Roof pitch, deck type, fixing pattern and exposure vary from project to project, so the final design should always be checked against current technical information.
