Flat Roof

May 01, 2004 1 Replies

Simple question, what is the recommended fall for a flat roof?



(warm deck, with 3 layers of hot bonded felt on top of ply on top of celotex)


IME about 20deg if you want to keep the water out for 20 years, but Chudley says 1:80 for continuous coverings or 1:60 if there are laps. Probably depends more on the size of pre-cut firings if using them.
