The reed marshes of the "Ketelmeer" (NL) at the mputh of the rover "IJssel" in the "IJsselmeer" is known for its exceptional quality.
A part of this reed beds is harvested every year between September and December.
Due to its great strength it is used as roofing material.

As the advert notes the Welsh slate industry had been active for centuries when this advert was issued in 1931 and indeed, countless roofs have been finished in the products of the various quarries in North Wales that were, at the time, numerous and often vast in terms of operation. The advert is also of interest in that it shows the 30,000th municipally constructed 'council' house in Birmingham.
The cast iron street name plate (a real Birmingham production in its own right as it would have been made in the Tramways Department's foundry at Kynotts Lake Road) shows this as corner of Hurlingham Road and Danesbury Crescent in Kingstanding, one of the city's largest pre-WW2 housing schemes. The properties still stand and indeed look to have the original roofs so a century on is not bad! Given that municipal housing was largely a post-WW1 enterprise, the bulk of the legislation allowing for "homes for heros" as well as inner city slum clearance being past int he early 1920s, a total of 30,000 in a decade shows the scale of the enterprise that cities such as Birmingham undertook.
Here's the current scene.

This is a standard asphalt roof shingle installation accross a hip line of the roof. There are a couple of extra nails hammered along the hip to hold the last shingle in place. When we finish the hip we can simply run a chalk line down the centre of the hip and use a hook blade knife to cut down the chalk line. This is a clean way to finish the hip and be sure to re-use the large pieces that have been cut off.

The basic frame of a four sided gazebo. Note the owners used good quality wood and carefull construction - painting the frame before the roof was attached. If there was one issue it was that the rafters were not at 600mm centres which maximises the use of the 2400 x 1200 a-bond structural plywood.
Here you can see the #15 asphalt saturated felt paper nailed down to the roofing plywood. The felt paper is stapled to the plywood and comes down in line with the bottom of the drip edge material. Be sure to overlap this material to manufacturers guidlines - usually 50mm on the horizontal overlap and 100mm on the vertical overlap. Always start from the bottom of the roof so the water drains correctly. Asphgalt saturated felt underlay roofing material is used for fire ratings, waterproofing and unexpected high wind protection.
Here we are cutting the Colorbond drip edge at the fascia. This metal roofing material is designed to protect the bottom edge of the plywood from any water that it comes in contact with through either strong winds or capillary action. It is good practice for this material to extend at least 100mm op the roof.
Here is a shot the owner took of the finished product. Building diy roofing for the handy homeowner. A nice asphalt shingle roof finished in the surrounds of the Australian bush.
Here with the aid of a chalk line up the roof rafter we cut a straight line with the circular saw. The a-bond plywood is made with Formaldehyde chemical which makes it waterproof. This chemical is known to cause cancer so it is a good idea to wear a mask or keep your mouth shut and not breethe. The off cuts willbe used on the top ends of this gazebo.
This is the starter course that is used along the bottom edge of the plywood - often over a fascia drip edge. This starter course is a three tab asphalt shingle with the tabs cut off just below the UV self sealing glue strip. The starter course extends 10mm below the drip edge to create a secondary drip edge guiding the water away from the plywood material. The glue strip is situated near the bottom so it seals to the first full three tab asphalt shingle.
Here we are finishing the final hip on this IKO Dual Black Marathon Asphalt Shingle diy building roofing project.This outdoor area or outdoor living space is used for entertaining on those warm summer nights. The owner attached lights to the underside of the gazebo and it is also a good idea to set up a couple of those radiant heaters so you can use it on colder nights.
I bring my kids here (4 and 6) and I let them climb all over the roof. Billy cut his hand on a rusty nail because he was stupid and didn't look where he was falling. I tell the kids they have one hour to find as much recyclable material as possible otherwise they aren't going to get a happy meal (to share) and they'll have to wait til' next week to eat something besides oatmeal.
This is a gazebo built in Melbourne Australia with IKO Dual Black Marathon asphalt roofing shingles. The owner built the structure and I came and installed the 12mm a-bond structural plywood, asphalt saturated felt underlay and finally the IKO Dual Black Asphalt Roof Shingles. The finished product was a superb DIY roofing Gazebo that lets the owners enjoy those summer nights out on the deck.
Flat roof work in progress, not yet finished but there is not a long way to go. This is over the platform at Bognor Regis Railway Station.
Sustainable practices are an integral part of our management and operations in creating new buildings and renovating old roofs.
By reducing pollution & waste and using appropriate energy resources and materials the environmental impact will be dramatically reduced, but this is only one part of the solution.
The product life span and its future ability to be used with building alterations and the ease of repair all affect its environmental footprint.

A fine day for roofing. Approved RubberBond roofing contractors have installed flat roofs to two houses. It's nice when neighbours get along.
The approved contractors looking back at how much flat roofing they have already installed.
There’s an old adage in the roofing industry that says a single ply roof is only as good as its seams. While early EPDM systems were almost bullet proof when it came to weather resistance, the first generation of products relied on liquid adhesive for lap seaming. Though acceptable at the time industry professionals knew that a more reliable method would be needed in order to make the system a viable, long term roofing solution.
“From a weatherability standpoint mil for mil EPDM has proven to be one of the most cost effective membranes available today” says Rene Dupuis, president of Structural Research Inc.
Dupuis has probably studied more EPDM membranes - both in the laboratory and on the roof -than any other independent roofing researcher over the last 30 years. Dupuis is also known for his objectivity and honesty when evaluating roofing systems.
“It’s remarkable in hind sight that EPDM started out with one of the more vulnerable lap systems” he says. “However, the industry certainly did not rest till a true high performance tape system was perfected.”
Walt Rossiter, technical director for the Roof Consultants Institute and former research chemist at the National Bureau of Standards agrees. “EPDM seam performance is really a non issue, it’s simply not discussed any more”, Rossiter says. “The steps the industry has taken in terms of seam tapes and pre formed accessories has been fabulous.”
“To be able to take a pre-formed pipe boot with a taped flange and slip it over a pipe penetration is amazing for two reasons” says Rossiter. “It saves on labour, but more importantly, it eliminates stretching and bending of the membrane, along with the use of liquid adhesives.”
Rossiter should know, as he helped author a landmark NIST study on the performance of tape bonded EPDM seams in 1997. “We spent well over three years analyzing the performance of taped EPDM seams”, recalls Rossiter. “One of the things we discovered was that the strength of a seam made in a laboratory and in the field were statistically comparable. That was not the case for the old butyl based liquid adhesives”.
RubberBond warm flat roof extension on rear of domestic property.
insulating a flat roof can deliver real benefits; a warm comfortable room and lower energy bills. Building regulations can mean insulation is compulsory.
In April 2006 the revised Part L of the building regulations came into force, this has the aim to reduce energy used in buildings, this has now been updated on November 1st 2010, increasing the amount of insulation that should be installed.
The key requirements are:
Reduce energy used in buildings by at least 20%
In most refurbishment instances additional thermal insulation is required to meet the required "U" value. If such an upgrade is not technically or functionally feasible or would not achieve its pay back within 15 years.
There are essentially two designs used in the construction of a flat roof with insulation.
Cold deck
This is the most common construction but is also the least thermally efficient. From the room ceiling up the build is as follows: The roof joists support the roof construction the internal ceiling is attached to these, between the joists in the roof void insulation is laid in buildings constructed in the 60s, 70s, & 80s, there will most likely be some type of insulation between the rafters in the roof void. On top of the joists the roof deck is fixed and the waterproof roof cover is laid.
Warm deck
This is the most modern method of construction and should be used were possible (although not all situations are able to accommodate this design).
From the room ceiling up the build is as follows: The roof joists support the roof construction the internal ceiling is attached to these. On top of the joists the roof deck is fixed. A vapour barrier is laid on to the deck. And the appropriate thickness of insulation is fixed to the roof deck. The waterproof roof cover is then installed.
This method of insulating the roof alleviates the formation of condensation in the roof void, and complies with the current building regulations.

One of the unique properties shown here is the ability to overlay a old felt roof without the need to remove the old felt first.
Built up flat roof felt, asphalt flat roof or bitumen has a limited life span due to rapid deterioration caused by varied weather conditions in the UK. It is strange that we build a property to last a life time and then put a flat roof system on to last considerably less time with leaking flat roofs accepted as the norm along with the maintenance bills to repair the leaky roofs. RubberBond™ FleeceBack™ EPDM rubber roofing permanently solves these problems with a proven life expectancy of 50 years and is the solution to your flat roof problems. Why repair to repair again with the associated costs and damage when you can permanently solve your flat roof problem with our flat roof system.
