What about a Sun Tube? :?: That is a very busy roof space, a Sun Tube could be a more minimalistic choice with just a ceiling diffuser ring mounted in? Sun Tube Skylights

If there is going to be any traffic on the roof, I would always recommend using some kind of decking on the EPDM like Promenade tiles, or use GRP... Firestone's EPDM isn't as strong as the salesman like to make out.

Yup, the GRP is most definitely handy on situations like Balcony's or roofs with penetrations. FormFlash is not cheap and a major PITA if you have lots of flashing to do! Glad I can assist!

The 2nd pic is much better, he has done a nice job their on the Rooflight :)

It can be difficult to explain to customers that bubbles can occur, and typically they do disperse over time - You get that look from them as if they are thinking "Is this guy having me on" But you just need to explain that it does happen. Normally the majority of Bubble's is where the...

No, 18mm OSB should not go on top, this is what your main decking should be on top of the joists. So; Joists, then 18mm OSB3, then Kingspan, then your ply substrate on top whether it be the 6mm board on the kingspan or overboard it with 9 or 12mm OSB 3/2. Then its ready for EPDM.

I like to do a bit of detailing myself! [/url]

I think everyone's heating bills are nuts. Filling them holes will make fook all difference to your bills :)

Don't FAKRO do windows that are 10 - 15 Degrees pitch? Or some kid of Kit they supply... Could be wrong.

Is the Polycarbonate Dome Rooflight just a Single skin Dome? Typically, larger Dome Rooflights like this should be triple skin, this will give better Sound Insulation! Good luck! Skylights

Sorry, double post!

Typically to supply and fit EPDM, depending where you are in the country it is around £60M2. This is EPDM materials only, and wont include OSB, scaffolding etc etc... For a 5m2 Roof I would say £500 tops... Someone may mistake me if I am wrong.

Kingspan and Celotex both do a boarded Insulation, which EPDM can be applied directly to that btw. But securing the 12mm OSB3 to the Insulation is always a good idea, as its not so flimsy.

Hi mate, I actually worked for Permaroof for 2 years, so I have done my fair share of Roofs in the past. The reason the EPDM is bubbling up is because you need to make sure that; A - The Glue (both WBA and Contact) should be applied in nice thin and even coats B - Let the glue tack-off...
