Classification of Roofing Slates ISS video 5
Please show how to do a warm pitched roof with the counter batten. Awesome video
Whats the thoughts on throwing the top felt over the ridge, seen some other videos where the felt finished at almost the rudge to allow ventilation
@user-uk3xc3vv1x when using a dry ridge system leave a 20-30mm gap at the top on both sides to allow the airflow through the apex. This applies to breathable and non-breathable felt. Also if the soffit isn't already vented over facia vent is required for airflow under the eave course.
Get your length of the slate, take off your headlap (3 inches) and half the measurement that’s your gauge! Example a 24x12 slate 24 - 3 (your headlap) = 21 then half that 10.5 so 10.5 is your gauge always subtract 3 inches from your slate length
That’s a really long way round getting your gauge
It would be nice to have the time to make sure you have exactly 10mm drape between every truss using a template. Unfortunately in the real world where time is money and the money isn't on the job you don't get this privilege.
God, thank you for making it so clear and easy to follow, thank you guys.
When did you leave the star ship Enterprise 😂😂😂
As a roofer. he so old school he doesn't know what he's on about anymore. Gauge stick lol 😅😅 . We call it an idiot stick.
Well, depends who you're working with. Me? I'm only just getting back into roofing after a long time and would like to use he gauge batten; once you've finished them then measure back to the datum.
😂😂 I’m also a roofer I’d have that roof felt lathed and slated in that 15 minute video 😂
You haven’t explained how to work out the gauge without explaining how you worked out your head lap or explained what a double lap means - also your first slate overhang is 65mm but everyone else says 50mm. Why have you got this wrong? Also no explanation of where the bottom of the first row of membrane sits- I’m slating a roof for the first time today and it’s hard to find a video with the information I actually need!!
Hi thank you for the wonderful instructional video. I noticed your support tray is lifted up above the facia board. Why is this required and how much lift is required?
Where's thr over fasci vent?
The only fells on CZcams explaining. Cheers fella
I can see that you put the batten up to the line. So thats the first full slate batten. Can you please tell me the distance from the top of that first batten to the eve because i havent got a clue what you are saying
What’s this gap against the wall all about then? I pin the felt to the wall with the batten; providing a secure channel for any water ingress (but carefully as to not damage the felt).
10mm nominal drape - you learn something new every day
Personally I don't put my felt trays on before I fix my first batten. Measuring off a bare fascia board is more accurate. Once the first batten is fixed lift the bottom of the membrane up and then fix the trays.
100% right the first course is the most important course get that wrong and the lot is fucked
Wow the i dear is good but needs to explain why you are doing it. Slates are sorted into a grade to get max use out of the slates. Thin at the bottom would where out before the top. Because of the water run of. 😢
Why is there a double batten at the bottom of the roof?
For the eaves course
@@carlrhodes3421 could you explain why two are needed for that?
Slates are laid double lap. i.e. each slate covers the heads(top edges) of the slates on 2 courses below. The eaves course serves as the second head for the second full course of slates to cover to keep water out.
Cut battens needs to be treated
The lap needs to be tape
To fix the felt NHBC no allowed nails now
It's this NHBC standards?
Fantastic. Thank you.
where you get that chalk line?
Eeeeevryone got that chalk line, roofing suppliers
