What is a zinc roof build up?
The supporting structure for a zinc roof is made up in a series of different layers on site, known as the ‘build up’. Depending on the design of the roof, it can include, from outside to inside:
1. Zinc;
2. Underlay;
3. Substrate (providing direct support for the Zinc);
4. Air layer (ventilated/cold roofs only);
5. Insulation;
6. Vapour control layer (VCL) or vapour barrier, and
7. The Principal load bearing structure.
Modern methods of construction can combine some of these elements, such as the substrate, insulation and VCL.
