003. Description of Detail

In the case of sloping roof structures between 10 and 20 degree incline, the use of Diadrain-25 in conjunction with JWG-500 jute netting provides sufficient erosion protection, however careful consideration should still be given to the roof edge finish. All sloping roofs require the careful choice of growing medium and vegetation and expert advice should be sought. In the case of steeper than 20 degrees of roof designs it is essential that a permanent soil erosion prevention layer is installed. This layer should act independently of the waterproofing membrane to avoid the transfer of unwanted forces. The roof edge finish has to be designed to withstand the downward forces present. The use of the RDTS eaves profile engineered to satisfy this requirement.
