Roof with Interlocking Tiles
The Redland 49 tile was an ideal choice for this project due to its exceptional durability and interlocking design, which provides excellent wind and weather resistance. These tiles are widely known for their strength, making them perfect for properties exposed to the unpredictable British weather. Their lightweight yet robust nature also ensures ease of installation, reducing overall labour time without compromising on quality. Additionally, Redland 49 tiles come in a variety of colours and finishes, allowing homeowners to choose a style that complements their property’s character.
Permavent RED Membranes
To enhance the roof’s performance, we installed a Permavent RED heavy-duty vapour-permeable membrane. This advanced roofing underlay offers superior breathability, allowing moisture to escape while preventing water ingress. Its heavy-duty composition provides outstanding strength and durability, ensuring long-term protection for the roof structure. The Permavent RED membrane also enhances thermal efficiency by reducing condensation build-up, which is essential for maintaining a healthy and energy-efficient home.
As part of the roofing system, we incorporated a dry ridge system, ensuring a maintenance-free and secure ridge line. This method eliminates the need for traditional mortar, which can degrade over time, leading to potential repairs. Instead, the dry ridge system provides a mechanically fixed solution that offers enhanced ventilation, preventing damp and condensation issues in the loft space. The system is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, giving homeowners peace of mind for years to come.
Ridge Tiles Installation
For the finishing touches, we installed ridge tiles and a block-end ridge tile to create a seamless and polished appearance. These ridge tiles not only contribute to the roof’s visual appeal but also play a crucial role in protecting the ridge from water penetration. The block-end ridge tile provides additional security at the gable ends, ensuring a neat and durable finish that enhances the roof’s structural integrity.
To ensure proper water drainage and a secure connection between different roofing sections, we implemented a bonding gutter. This essential component is particularly beneficial when joining new roof coverings with neighbouring properties or extensions. The bonding gutter effectively channels rainwater away, preventing leaks and ensuring a smooth transition between different roofing materials. This feature is crucial for maintaining the overall integrity of the roof and avoiding potential water ingress issues.
