Roof Covering
On our Apex log cabins we use hexagonal felt shingles, these are self-adhesive, strong and durable. They are applied in 900mm strips and fastened in place with heavy duty staples, they are a high end long-lasting product. It creates an attractive honeycomb hexagonal effect, this is then finished with a rectangular ridge tile protecting the ridge of your building. They have a desired lifespan of 20 years. On our pent roof log cabins we offer EPDM rubber roofing if required as well as the standard roof shingles. This is a high density rubber membrane that is glued with a specialist glue to the roof boards. It is manufactured in one complete section and therefore has no joins, overlaps or areas where water might get in. It is pinned in place with the facia boards to give a neat, durable and protective roof covering. This has a desired lifespan of 20 years. The roof is insulated with either 50mm rockwool or a 25mm foil backed solid foam board which sits inside a framework of a 25x50mm pressure treated batten.
Roof Insulation
To ensure your cabin is cosy in the winter and cool in the summer you have the option to insulate the roof and floor. The roof can be insulated in either a 50mm Rockwool which is carried out internally thus not affecting the height or externally with 25mm foil backed solid foam board which sits inside a framework of a 25x50mm pressure treated batten. It is then covered by a 12mm ply board. The shingles are then fixed on top of this, this makes the roof a finished thickness of 56mm providing a water tight and thick barrier from the cold and beaming sun.
Floor Insulation
The floors are insulated with a 25mm foil backed foam board, these are held up against the bottom of the floor boards with a 18x38mm batten. This also creates a void which allows air to circulate keeping the floorboards ventilated and dry, it is then capped either end with a treated board.
