Over the last week the 'Manor Red - 0.42mm' metal deck roof had been fixed. Capping, roof vents and fixings are mostly completed. Roof is fixed down to Topsan 40 (steel) battens spaced at 900 centers that span between the trusses. Fixing down screws to the battens are at 450 centers or so. I'm not sure about the fixings from batten to truss though. I would assume two screws at the intersection.
Anti-con blanket was visible from the under side, sitting in between the battens and roof sheeting. The blanket is simply a glass wool layer on top of a reflective foil.
Not too happy with the anti-con blanket installation. I don't think enough of an air-gap between the roof sheeting and blanket has been allowed for - thus significantly reducing its effectiveness.
Crisp lines of a Colorbond roof.
On a side note we had to re-select main bathroom wall tiles since the supplier discontinued that particular tile - the wife was furious. Also, received a letter from Allworth explaining a shortage in trades people, specifically brick layers and together with inclement weather delays have notified us of a 25 day delay in the construction time line.
