This roof in Llandinam (SY17) was an unusual project in terms of shape and design - constituting a wide strip of roofing surrounding a central opening for an extra large skylight lantern aperture over a sun room. The roofing area also needed to be meticulously tapered to the guttering to provide thorough drainage from the central area to avoid puddling, which could damage the roof structure and impair safety. We used two outlets draining to a standard downpipe via a special flat roof outlet.

The above photographs show the sanded-back roof prior to installation of the polymer system, followed by different views of the finished roof, illustrating the subtle tapering from a variety of angles. The owner chose a 20 Year Protection System.
