API and Lap: Key Considerations
When roofing with slate or tiles, it is essential to consider the API (Application Per Inch) and lap (the overlap between each slate or tile). A higher API and lap can provide extra protection against the elements, but may also increase the cost of the project.
Practice and Quantity: Getting it Right
To ensure a successful roofing project, it is essential to get the practice and quantity right. Our experienced roofers will work with you to determine the best practice and quantity for your project, ensuring that your roof is properly protected against the elements.
Head Lap: A General Rule of Thumb
A general rule of thumb for head lap is to ensure that the lap is at least 100mm. This will provide extra protection against the elements and ensure that your roof is properly sealed.
Extra Half: Including the Extras
When roofing with slate or tiles, it is essential to include the extras, such as underlay and flashing. These extras can provide extra protection against the elements and ensure that your roof is properly sealed.
