Hello,
We currently have a approx 10ft x 9ft bathroom/hallway extension with a flat roof.
We are planning to extend the kitchen alongside this which would have meant a wider flat roof but we now want to create a roof terrace above the bathroom and kitchen instead of a boring flat roof.
It is also a nice afternoon sun spot. The total terrace size would be about 10ft x 16ft.
I don't really know what the contruction of the roof terrace would be apart from finishing with terracotta or slate tiles.
What would be between the bathroom/kitchen ceiling and the terrace tiles? I'm thinking load bearing/support (rsj?), insulation, plywood or boards, waterproof layer of some kind...?
Access would be by replacing current bedroom window with a similar style door.
Also, our neighbours are fine with this idea!
