The best possible thing to do, if you're
*expecting* a leak, is to not put anything on
the underside of the roof-deacking at all.

At least that way it will have a chance to
dry out again after it rains.

But it's a far better idea to just bite
the bullet, and put up a roof-treatment
that you can expect not to leak in the
first place.




What I meant was individual plank panelling.

If I were to go with drywall, would the green stuff intended for baths
be better?

I have replaced the flat roofs with rubber membrane systems and hope
to have no further trouble, but I am gun shy (especially since I'm
afraid the roof installation was not done correctly) and really do not
want to drywall these ceilings in case there is a leak down the road
and would appreciate alternative suggestions.

All suggestions appreciated!
