Going Through the Roof: Key Considerations for Specifiers Around the Issue of Roof Penetrations
This CPD provides attendees with a specific insight into the issues surrounding roof level service penetrations. Attendees will be guided through the key considerations relating to maintaining the integrity of the all-important weathering layer where ducts, pipes and cables exit the riser on to the roof. The session will identify the methods and protocols that are essential for the effective and durable execution of this often-challenging detail. It will help you to understand the following topics:
- The evolution of the flat roof and how roof constructions have changed
- The utilisation of the roof area and how we use roofs today
- The key considerations when designing roof penetrations
- The pitfalls of a reactive approach
- The benefits of a proactive, collaborative approach
- The science of effective weathering
- The benefits of a proprietary system

The Critical Connection - Open Rainscreen Cladding to Pitched Surfaces
Whether your rainscreen cladding material is timber, metal or a composite material, having the option to run your cladding material seamlessly to the vertical walls and pitched roof surfaces, enables both bold creativity and understated simplicity in design. This CPD is not about the multitude of cladding material options that are available. The time is used to focus on the structure, waterproofing and detailing that is so necessary to get right if your creative design is to become reality.

We will look at the issues relating to the roof build-up, waterproofing layer, insulation, structural connection and cladding support options along with propriety systems that answer the challenges raised. A full set of slides and note along with a certificate of attendance will be provided after the presentation.
