Roof construction
A modern roof is a complicated construction consisting of many
dierent materials with many dierent functions.
1. Roofing material – primarily protects against water (rain and
snow), hail etc
2. Underfelt – protects against rain and snow and serves partly as
wind barrier
3. Bearing construction – rafters, battens
4. Heat insulation – minimises heat loss
5. Vapour barrier – prevents air and vapour penetration
6. Interior ceiling finish
When this construction is interrupted by the installation of a roof
window, there are o course demands to maintain the integrity of
the roof construction and the connections between the window
and the individual components within it.
