Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 14, 2011 6:48 pm We are at the roofing stage of our build and the timber has been put on the frame to hold down the tiles. We have sarking as part of our tender and we are wondering if it should have been put up before this timber was done? Here is a link to some pics http://squeakbuilds.blogspot.com/2011/0 ... enced.html Thanks in advance.

Re: Sarking on the Roof 4May 14, 2011 9:10 pm There is a product known as 'roof blanket' by fletcher...it comes in a roll and is glass fibre 'wool' stuck to a backing of foil sarking. Does anyone know if it can be used over the tile battens in a terra cotta pitched roof or is it just for colorbond rooves?
