Orangery / flat roof external material - what's best?

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

I am building an orangery in the next few months. It measures 8.8m x 3.7m with a central glass roof lantern and a perimeter ceiling of approx 0.7m in width.

I am at the stage of selecting the external roofing material that will lie on top of the perimeter ceiling area. I have been looking at a variety of materials, from plastic, rubber to metal, and there seem to be pros and cons with each.

Would be very interested and grateful to hear from orangery (or flat roof building) owners or experts of their experiences and recommendations. The orangery is south facing so will endure direct sun and heat.

Thank you.

Hi - been there done that! Start again! OK I can see there is enough clearance below the door to allow a decent fall to be created if its not enough already. This can be done using pressure treated timber firings which are essentially lengths of timber cut and tapered to dimensions according to a plan such as my example below (I realise your balcony is much smaller but you should get the idea). My firrings plan and cutting list shows 3 drain points with the firrings mitred to created falls toward relevant drain. Your local timber supplier should be happy to cut these and pressure treat resulting tapered timbers which would be fixed at 300 centres max and would have 20mm min marine plywood screwed on to them at 150mm centres. OSB 3 roofing 'chipboard' which can come in tongue and groove form would also work, I just prefer ply. They need to be planned out so that the fall of the timber firrings sends any water toward the drainage channel (if there isn't one then create one) or to the edge of your balcony where the rainwater gutter will collect it. Then use RESITRIX - we used this supplier, but there are plenty out there.... http://www.rubber4roofs.co.uk/shop/epdm-rubber-roofing which is a much stro nger version of EDPM rubber and can withstand foot traffic as it is reinforced with fabric making it almost like a wet suit - its a fantastic quality product believe me!. You paint on a black primer on to the ply, then peel the backing off the RESITRIX and apply. Be warned - as experienced people (but not exactly specialist roofers) we managed to do this very effectively, but found that extreme care is needed before committing as once the RESITRIX makes contact its sticks forever!! this is especially difficult at internal corners. Only peel back the backing plastic off the RESITRIX rubber a little at a time as you need to hold it up off the deck to ensure it doesn't make contact in wrong place. two pairs of hands can help!!If you have planned the falls correctly so that the water is sent to the drain, you will now have that long awaited water tight balcony! Now Google 'tiles for decks and balconies' and you will find no end of options of special porcelain or ceramic tiles with plastic adjustable feet for each corner of tile which allow you to place the feet and tiles level on top of your RESITRIX flat roof with no risk of penetration pif the rubber. Water goes between the tiles as they are not grouted, just placed on the feet. Not sure if the tiles you have will work without cracking - you could test this by standing on one which is supported only at corners. by the way RESITRIX happens to be one of a range of flat roof solution I have used including Kemper liquid rubber system (which is reinforced by a fleece like fabric which is simply rolled out onto a bed of liquid rubber then soaked on top with more rubber) Messy but effective, a similar process to GRP. Have also used one piece EDPM rubber which a very competent DIY'er can fit. A very economical and speedy solution, but not good for foot traffic - although they are starting to introduce reinforced versions. We are actually going to use slate grey plastic/wood composite decking http://www.wpc-decking.co.uk To do this we will PLACE a new set of firrings on top of the completed rubber deck but also will stick strips of RESITRIX to underside of firings for protection. now we will have a deck that can be lifted for maintenance in future if required. These firrings are the opposite of the ones used to create the falls, which brings the deck back to level of course! In reality we will actually adjust to maintain a slight fall so that, and the gaps in the deck takes water away. A long answer - I hope that it helps! Best of luck!

Hi Catherine, Difficult to advise without seeing a picture of the room. Be careful of natural slate, its quite a soft material and will mark. Some slates are better than others so be careful who supplies.. Kirkstone supply a superb slate......http://www.kirkstone.com Avoid ceramic if you can, its a thin coat of glaze over a pot tile. Chips easily. Porcelain is a superb material, can look modern so if its a traditional interior it may not go. If its modern / contemporary think about using a fully vitrified porcelain. Very flat, has as nails and will take just about any amount of wear and tear. You can buy this in large slabs in a variety of finishes. Most tile suppliers stock this. Word of warning with any ceramic / porcelain tiles. if your on a concrete floor happy days. If your on a timber floor you should invest in adding strengthening beams in to stop any flexing and ask the tiler to include an anti crack matting. The slightest movement on the floor will crack the tile so the floor has to be rigid.. I don't personally like vinyls, if you go down this road the only one on the market that I would recommend is Amtico.. Sorry if thats a bit vague, hope it helps. Martin: www.angel-martin.com

Best material for top of outdoor cupboard

Hi, first I would think about drainage. A flat surface will hold the water and you would have the same problems as before. I would slightly raise the back (1 inch should be enough) and have a small overhang at the front so that water won't damage the front of the cupboards. Some marine ply or tanalised timber covered in shed roofing felt should do the job (see image, but angle doesn't need to be as high). Not as good looking as Daisy's roof tiles tho:)

Would you build a flat roof or vaulted roof extension?
Q

I think a flat roof with a terrace above would be amazing! Flat room materials have really moved on and such good quality now. Or you could do a flat roof with skylight or roof lanterns which will give lots of light. My sister has done this. Her extension is flat roofed and it looks really smart. Also I think if the extension is no higher than 2.5m it can come under permitted development? There are other criteria but your local council planning portal should have all the info you need. Pitched roofs would be more expensive. My garage cost £15,000 but with a pitched roof and tiles it would have been nearer £25,000 and I would have needed planning permission. Here’s some ideas for you
