Rustytabitha Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Hello I am endeavouring to future proof my home due to disability (MS) by making improvements like warm roofs bathroom and kitchen upgrades. Having had a couple of bad experiences with trades I am keen to get things right first time. my current dilemma is which roofer to use for a large flat roof project. One plans to replace everything make it warm and make a larger roof light etc and he uses fleece backed EPDM and an alutrixx vcr. The other wants to use existing felt as a vcl and put single ply pvc sika sarnafil or IKO Armourplan on top. Which should I choose?

JohnMo Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Are you adding external insulation. Fleece adds nothing to the U value. Have you specified what roof buildup you require, or are you hoping the contractor will supply what he thinks you need? Typically you should be adding 150 to 200mm exterior insulation, to give a good performance roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
