Hi all, looking for some advice on a new build warm flat roof for a detached timber frame garden office that I want to build.
The roof is to be approx 7.9m x 3.8m using 170mmx47mm C16 joists at 400mm centres, I was going to 3x felt with chippings on the outside and I am intending to plasterboard the ceiling and fit recessed downlighters with led lamps on the inside. The building needs to be under 2.5m high to avoid planning permission.
I am looking for the thinnest overall construction for the flat roof to gain as much headroom inside the room as possible, I realise the thinnest option might not be the cheapest but I have now looked at so many different constructions and insulation types that I am now pretty confused and was hoping someone had negotiated a similar problem and could advise the best way forward. Thanks in advance.
