Wooden deck from OSB boards with tongue and grove joints:
It is very import to have a wooden deck that is extremely flat and dry.
The best way to achieve this flatness is to use OSB boards with tongue and grove joints. Under certain conditions, dry wooden planks can also be used but they must always be covered with thin OSB boards (6-8 mm).
With the low lumber moisture and tongue-groove edges we will eliminate movement of the structure to a minimum. The total recommended thickness of a wooden deck is 22 mm but always check the local building code.
Metal flashings is important:
If you have a simple shed roof with rakes on the sides, then start with the drip-edge metal flashing at the eave first.
To protect the sides on curved dormers, eyebrow dormers or arched dormers, special custom bended metal flashings should be used on these edges. Metal flashings must be nailed to the wooden deck. If flashings have a water stopper, fix them with metal clips and don’t penetrate these flashings with nails.
Roof shingles are a very versatile building material. Except for roofs, they can also be used to cover vertical walls or facades. Self-adhesive shingles such as Cambridge Xtreme 9,5°, ArmourShield PLUS and DiamantShield are perfect for such vertical applications. But also uncommon roof shapes can be covered with shingles: tower, round dome, low slope, and steep slope … The architectural freedom is unlimited.
