TWENTY YEARS OF PARTNERSHIP
The result is a more comfortable living environment that costs less to heat or cool because it is insulated from the ambient temperatures outside , making it warmer in winter and cooler in summer .
The system also has a 5-35o pitch variable ring beam assembly that increases the types of roofs that can be replaced while adjustable angles on the hip , valley and ridge add up to easier fitting , and ensure that tiles and ridges sit correctly for finishing . All rafters sit flush with the hip and rafter too , providing greater strength . Thermal breaks avoid moisture build
up , and air gaps within the roof allow any moisture to dissipate quickly – so there is no danger of internal condensation , unlike some tiled roof systems .
Equinox kits offer a ‘ one box solution ’ – with SlateSkin sheets pre-cut to size and numbered for easy identification and installation . Plus , all the sealants and fixings required to install the roof to the highest standard are also in the box .
