The Terraces from first floor level across the road

The roof is on.

Once the framing was up the Colorbond corrugated sheeting was quickly laid, assisted by the simple form of the roof. The sheet could have been laid in one continuous length down the roof, but there was nowhere to deliver, let alone the space to manoeuvre each sheet into position, due to the limited access and size of the property.

The roof sarking was laid over the battens, providing additional insulation and moisture protection (against roof cavity condensation) with the roof sheeting laid above.


Roof sarking

With the ceiling following the line of the roof over most of the upper living area, the ceiling insulation will be laid prior to the plywood ceiling lining.
