    Irish roofing delta,,,iko permatorch app high performance modified torch applied roofing sheet,   ,www,iko.ie

    Leaking low pitch roof has to be replaced with something waterproof- very reputable experienced roofer recommends above- I am satisfied this is an excellent product and will do the job but I wondered haa anyone got this done?
    Is it going to cause an issue with house insurance cover I wonder

    Insurance dont cover any torch on roof any more used to be ten year old then went to five then three now they will not cover it at all so ask how long the builder will cover it because thats what they will do

    thks a mill I have agreed to have ,,,iko permatorch app high performance modified torch applied roofing sheets fitted. They are applied with underlay
    and insulation , PVC underneath the sheets and modern torch on the other side.

    No need to change the pitch ...and the guy doing it has 40 years roofing experience and has done a lot of botch jobs done by builders , just like mine.

    I asked him would I get 10/20 yrs.' out of it , he reckons 40 yrs !! with m u 10 degree pitch , so happy out!!!! ps... also the insurance company have no problem whatsoever with this type of roofing surface...

    Thks J. Yeah I would love to see pics ok.
    I have a very experienced roofer doing the Jon in next 10 days or so.

    He is taking interlocking tiles off roof. He is then putting ply on I think with a cover of insulation over that and then this product ...he showed me it - it has like PVC on the underside and then "felt" on the other (which will be outer side)

    I don't know much about roofing (as you know!) I recall him saying something to me when doing up quote ,, we can put half inch ......no we will do three quarter inch ...something or others regards timber/ply ! Sounds more solid I suppose ...when you mentioned -"warm deck" I you tubed it ..I see the idea ok - is ventilation a requirment !? It won't be walked on so not bothered about that really - it's a pity I have two velux stuck in middle of it .. Means joints .the roofer says with the roof he is doing there is no need to stand the velux up due to pitch ..this method will avoid that - that's a great advantage cause water appears to be confined to around these areas of the roof..."paddy
