Onduline’s new RIBA accredited CPD – ‘Understanding Low Pitched Roofs & The Benefits of Sub-Roof Systems’

Available to book face-to-face or as an online seminar

Onduline is very proud to offer a brand new RIBA certified CPD seminar that is designed to provide architects and building professionals with knowledge and information on the importance of roof pitches and the considerations required to ensuring the right pitch for a building.

The seminar aims to help delegates:

  1. Understand why roof pitches differ.
  2. Have an understanding of the pros and cons of different roof pitches.
  3. Have an understanding of when to use a different roof pitch.
  4. Have an insight in to how a low pitch roof can benefit an end-user.
  5. Have an understanding of what a sub-roof is, and when to use one.

BS 5534 recognises that there are situations where it would be difficult to avoid using a roofing product at less than the recommended roof pitch, and highlights that a roof that is designed below the recommended minimum roof pitches should have a functional weatherproof sub-roof system to remove any rainwater ingress safely to the eaves gutter.

ISOLINE® LOW LINE sub-roof

A sub-roof is an additional protective layer within the roof structure and is ideal for:

  • Low pitch roofs: by integrating the ISOLINE® sub-roof, all roof tiles can go down to 10 degrees.
  • Heritage sites: the existing roof tiles can be re-used, as the ISOLINE® sub-roof becomes the main waterproofing element
  • Extra guarantee / protection: the ISOLINE® sub roof is forgiving, meaning any issues with the roof tiles are taken care of by the ‘roof beneath the tiled roof’
