Hello

I am currently planning a small extension and am confused by the roof construction stated by my architect.

the roof is a fairly low pitch (18 deg) and will be covered with slates

the construction spec is

slates on
battons on
counter battons on
2 layers of 1f type felt fully bonded on
18mm ext. ply

Its the 2 layers of fully sealed 1f felt I aint sure about, the internet aint really educating me too much as how this should be constructed.

can anyone help.

You don't say what sort of slates you are using, but I would be worried about any slates with just an 18 degree pitch. I would guess this is why you have got the extra layer of felt.

Simply ask your architect to clarify
