Roof Goes Up

The scaffolding went up yesterday and within a single morning Craig's team has installed all the Ritek roofing. Quick installation is one of the benefits.



Ritek is a composite material - 200mm of foam sandwiched between two corrugated metal sheets. The lower sheet becomes the ceiling and the eaves. The roof is self-supporting over lengthy spans. No roof cavity. No beams. No battens.


Upstairs looks great. This is a typically dense suburb but the neighbours nearly disappear behind the tree canopy. 


Putting the living spaces upstairs was a bold move. I think this works better than having bedrooms upstairs.
