Pristine Roof Finish
Challenge
On a stunning property in Northland, a new two-storey home was being built on the waterways. The skillion roof design required a treated substrate and the home owner was looking for a pristine roof finish.
Skillion roofs are where the ceiling follows the same line as the roof cladding resulting in a much smaller cavity. The Building Code requires all timber within a skillion roof to be treated.
Solution
StrandSarking. It offered a cost-effective treated substrate solution as required by the Building Code.
The home owner chose StrandSarking because:
-
Used in conjunction with Viking CertainTeed Asphalt Shingles, StrandSarking creates a light-weight roof;
-
As StrandSarking is more rigid and spans further than plywood, it reduces the visibility of sheet joins and any unevenness in the structure; creating a flatter, sharper more pristine-looking roof;
-
A treated substrate. StrandSarking provides the homeowner the peace-of-mind of an H3.1-treated timber substrate without the extra-cost.
-
StrandSarking is an environmentally-friendly alternative.
Result
"StrandSarking provides a sound substrate to work off, which is particularly important in two-storied situations. When combined with the Viking Peel & Stick Membrane the building was immediately watertight, even before the roof was completed."
