Under Slate felt , whats the story?
Looking at getting late 1880`s 4 storey tenement re-slated, exposed
position , scotch slates are slipping towards gutter at increasing rate, lead work evaporating etc. Flat platform in middle recovered 4 years ago. Seem to have decided on Spanish slate as against reclaimed Scotch on balance of cost and apperance, some areas would have to be Scotch, not here. Seems to be varying opinions on covering bleow new slates though, some say use a breathable fabric and no additional slate vents, others appear to be advsing non breathable and ` a few ` slate vents. Seen loft to habitable conversions and BC seem very keen on lots of slate vents. Whole of this roof is above habitated space. Whats anyones experience of undertile fabrics and the pros and cons? Thanks Adam |
