That Goes Under A Rubber Roof

Rubber roofing has multiple applications the most common being low sloped and flat roofs.

That goes under a rubber roof.

Most homeowners mistake rubber roof underlayment as a modified version of rubber roofs. It s all osb here. Water shield is the next roofing layer that creates a water proof barrier where ice or water can buildup near the roof eaves. What you will need to do is either hire a roofer or do it yourself.

Scott you are right rubber should go under slate not over assuming slat roof is above rubber. Most contractors will recommend the installation of underlayment to prolong the lifespan of your roof. If you diy you will need a slate removal toor to take out at least 2 bottom rows of slate and possible some rubber material flashing to flash bay window roof under slate. Roof deck is the roofing material that sits on top of the roof trusses.

It s usually a peel and stick product that adheres directly to the roof deck. On low sloped or flat roofs roofers often use specially manufactured. Most roof decking is made from sheets of plywood. Sheet membrane roof underlayment consisting of either a rubberized asphalt or butyl based adhesive with a polyethylene carrier sheet is a peel and stick product designed to adhere to the roof deck.

If you have a flat roof and want a more attractive option it is possible to apply rubber shingles on top of the rolled rubber roof. Without a word of a lie in the last 10 years i have only seen 5 or 6 houses using plywood sheathing on the floor wall or roof. However epdm roofsare a single ply membrane functioning as both the external roof and underlayment. In consequence it will lengthen the longevity of the entire property as well.

Osb under rubber roof. But shingles don t create the type of watertight seal needed to protect a low pitched or flat roof from water.
