Roof Sarking

Beautiful morning.

The builder was able to get right into the roofing today. The sarking - reflective foil insulating blanket - was laid directly over the battens, reflective side down, and the roof sheeting laid over. Sarking consists of a reflective waterproof layer glued to another layer of fibre glass blanket insulation. The sarking prevents condensation in the roof space, encapsulates the roof space reducing air movement and increasing thermal performance as well as reflecting rising heat.

All the roof trims, flashings, cappings etc will be fixed later.
