Low Pitched Roofing: All You Need To Know

Low pitched roofing solutions are becoming increasingly popular with homeowners across the globe. We’ve put together this useful information which outlines the main things you need to know when working with these types of designs.

These particular roofs have a low angle so that they can incorporate a window and elevation into the design. If your client is looking to let natural light into their home and save money on their bills, then this is the perfect choice.

There are many additional benefits to installing a low pitched roof, which includes improved ventilation and protection for slate tiles against breakage and versatility. Each of these factors has made these designs extremely popular in the construction industry, especially since the planning permission regulations were relaxed in 2013.

They can now be built without having to gain permission from the council, so you can start the construction work as soon as you’re ready which will save a lot of time, money and energy.

JRC also uses the ‘Easy Slate’ brand which can achieve angles as low as 12 degrees. This ensures that the roof solution works efficiently and performance can be boosted by up to 200 percent. The Easy verge, soaker, valley and tray components have been developed to protect the building from water intrusion, so there is no need to worry about damage, mould or damp!

All of the components of our range are made from the highest quality of material, from the patent rubber seals right through to the carefully selected slate tiles. For a visually appealing, yet functional roofing option for your client, then this is ideal.

You will need to ensure that the solution is fitted carefully and accurately if you want the roof system to work well and look professional. We have created an easy to follow step by step guide, which will help you when it comes to fitting the roof. It is important to familiarise yourself with these guidelines before you begin work, so that you get the best possible outcome when you have finished.
