Despite being relatively simple in concept, the myriad of possible designs of modern pitched roofs and the huge choice of roofing materials available, creates challenges for the specifier when looking for a way to choose the right combination of products that will meet a project’s requirements.

Some areas that this white paper covers;

  • The role of a pitched roof and the basic components that make up a pitched roof assembly

  • Roofing components each have a role to play in the performance of the roof and we will look at what can go wrong if any of them are incorrectly specified or installed

  • Liability will also be covered – who is liable and if problems do appear, how do they get handled by the building contractors and building insurers?
