What advantages are there from using a VELUX roof window over a dormer window?
A VELUX roof window can generally provide up to 40% more light than a dormer, as it is installed at a pitch of 45o.It can also be up to 70% cheaper.A VELUX roof window also provides a good overall outlook while dormers restrict both the upward and side view.
What gradient do you need to lay guttering?
A domestic eaves gutter when fixed on rafter brackets should be laid to a fall of not greater than 1:350 to allow for settlement. If there is too steep a fall, an excessive gap would be created between the lowest edge of the roof and the top of the gutter.
Do flat felted roofs need to be covered with chippings?
Chippings do provide protection for the roof from ultra violet radiation as well as providing a decorative finish. They also can reduce problems caused by extremes of temperature.
What is the life expectancy of roofing felt for a flat roof?
Based on industrial estimates, life expectancy ranges from 5 years to 30 years dependent on the product used. Each manufacturer provides a product guarantee, which should be used as a guide to longevity.
