Roof Options

Onduline roof

Onduline is a brand of corrugated roofing material made from bitumen-saturated organic fibres. Onduline roofing sheets are lightweight, durable and weather resistant and will be supplied with felt underneath.

Cedar shingle roof

An aesthetic roof made with featheredged western red cedar boards to enhance the appearance of your building and provide added protection to the roofing felt beneath. Western red cedar shingles fixed to pressure treated joists to enhance the appearance of your building and provide added protection to the roofing felt beneath.

Slatted roof

An aesthetic roof made of either pressure treated redwood or cedar overlapping boards fixed to pressure treated joists to enhance the appearance of your building and provide added protection to the roofing felt beneath.

Bitumen felt tiles

Roof is covered with tile effect heavy duty felt tiles. They are designed to be durable and weather resistant.

Slate effect tiled roof

Slate effect is a synthetic roof tile which emulates the appearance of natural slates and has a long-life span with no maintenance required. Slate effect tiles fixed to pressure treated joists to enhance the appearance of your building and provide added protection to the roofing felt beneath.

EPDM rubber roof

A maintenance free synthetic rubber membrane covering the roof as an alternative to roofing felt. EPDM roofs are particularly popular for flat or low-slope roofs because of their durability, flexibility, and resistance to ultraviolet radiation and weathering. EPDM roofs are also known for their long life span and low maintenance requirements.

Fascia’s

A fascia is a horizontal panel that is mounted along the lower edge of a roof. It serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. Fascia boards can enhance the appearance by creating a neat and finished look. UPVC fascia’s are fitted on Office range flat roof buildings as standard.

Buildings with cedar shingle or slate effect fascias can have standard fascias in lieu of the cedar shingle or slate effect ones painted in the same colour as the building.

Finials

Several buildings come with roof finials (decorative ornament on the roof of the building). The number of finials is dictated by the style and size of the building. These come as standard with the building.

Trusses

Trusses are structural frameworks composed of triangles, made of wood, used to support the roof. They consist of straight members connected at their ends to form a series of interconnected triangles. The triangle shape is crucial because it distributes loads evenly across its members, making trusses strong and efficient structural elements.

Guttering

Most of our buildings can have guttering fitted to them but not all. Guttering is available in either black, brown or white. Please speak to one of our Garden Building Specialists for more information.
