Understanding the Roof Lingo Tradies Use
October 24, 2022
Tradies often talk a different languge. Here is a guide to a few of the roofing technical terms you may encounter on your quote.
Ridge capping – The tiles that run along the top of the roof set in mortar.
Valley – The intersection of two sloping surfaces, towards which water flows.
Eaves – The area underneath the lowest overhanging part of the roof.
Fascia – The eaves gutter is normally fixed to metal or sometimes wooden fascia, which runs along the bottom edge of the roof.
Flashing – A strip of metal that covers the junction between the roof tiles and other surface, such as a chimney or skylight.
Sarking – A layer of boarding and/or a layer of waterproofing material fixed under the roof tiles.
