A Structured Approach to Roof Specification and Design

Description

Choosing the right flat roof system can be challenging but ask the right questions and you’re halfway there. This CPD walks architects and specifiers through a Flat Roof Checklist which incorporates the key questions a roofing specialist would ask an architect during the design process. Finding the answers will help create a seamless process from the start to the finish.

The questions in the CPD checklist cover the essential fundamentals such as the roof design, lifespan of the building and roof, what guarantee is offered before moving on to design factors, how to incorporate sustainability and what to consider during the installation.

The CPD then looks at the aesthetics of the roof and ensures technical details such as correct drainage, meeting u-values and upstand heights work for the space. It will also address the important question of cost and how to maximise the budget.

Along the way we also address UK British Standards & Codes of Practice and what to expect from suppliers.
