    Hi
    I am looking at doing a low pitch(17)degrees fibreglass warm roof finish.
    The rear extension is a 5.6m wide measurement.
    Cant go up any higher because of window cills.
    Thinking of ribbing the fibreglass so it looks like zinc from the ground.
    Any thoughts on this.
    Also the ceiling will be vaulted inside

    search Flag membranes - I've seen a zinc and coper alternative that look like the real thing.

    Looks impressive. Would love to know the full build up of the roof.

    Is the much of a crackling/banging noise from it in summer when it heats up on a sunny morning?
