geordie1234 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 if was putting that up id spend the bit extra and batton the roof out plenty of ventilation then and can put some clear in as well Do you think you could take the full roof off and baton it out and put the sheets on
OLDYELLOW Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 Do you think you could take the full roof off and baton it out and put the sheets onAye but mines already tiled :emoticon-0136-giggle: :emoticon-0136-giggle:
geordie1234 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 Aye but mines already tiled :emoticon-0136-giggle: :emoticon-0136-giggle:Cheers a was thinking about doing the same, felt is garbage but depends how the commision goes at work might need to deal with felt for a wee bit longer lol
OLDYELLOW Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 Had the joys of felt roofs forever ripping , tried tin roof they sweat too much so when got my last loft had to be tiles probably best roof i've had but the bitumen stuff will do as good a job and ventilate the loft and also the added bonus of adding more light / heat to the loft in early spring sunshine
Leroy Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 the onduline stuff is great to work with and lasts ages, far better than felt. I've done one of my dad's outhouses in it. the only problem is it really absorbs the heat and transfers it inside the building, so either make sure there is plenty of ventilation in summer, or add it on top of the felt roof that's already there mate.just my opinion, and I admit I haven't used it on a loft!!Lee

Guest peter4pm Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 you have to felt your roof first then put the roofing sheets over it ...dont put on to bare wood
