Coverage:

• Each pack of roof shingles will cover an area of 3 m.sq.
• For flat roofs is it a simple calculation of length x breadth / 3
• For Apex roofs we use an approximate calculation of ( (length x breadth) x 1.3 ) / 3 to give you the number of packets needed which will also include enough for a double layer on the first row and enough to complete the ridges. This is a ROUGH calculation.

Log Cabins and Garden Buildings Installation

Generally we do not see the need for the placement of a membrane (roofing felt or IKO underlay for all garden buildings as it is not generally necessary for leisure buildings and has not been recommended for over 15 years.  

However IKO now DO recommend this.

They are recommending IKO Glass Fibre Underlay 20m (Type 3B). This is similar to a standard roofing felt and if you are choosing to use a membrane we would recommend felt over the IKO membrane.

We leave this up to you the customer to decide if you need an extra layer of felt or membrane under your shingles. Whatever you require we can supply the shingles and roofing felt. Please see the Roofing Felt page.

The purpose of a membrane is in case your roof shingles lift, the roof will still have protection.

Shingle Glue

Each tile has a bitumen strip which melts in the heat of the sun securing your shingles.  As an option we offer felt shingle glue and this is also recommended by IKO. We recommend bitumen glue is at least used on the ridge tiles and the first leading edge roof tiles. We recommend shingle glue is used especially in the colder months as it takes longer for the bitumen glue to melt. Shingle glue is also highly recommended in very exposed locations.

Shingles are not recommended for use on gradients less than 10 degrees. If they are used the overlap needs to be more and shingle glue applied on every tile. Roofing Felt underneath is also necessary to guard against wicking and subsequent roof leaks.
