      @jessica rose Are you kidding me??? Its Not cheap to built a roof of any type at all.
      The cost comes from the contractor’s who has to install the extra rows of bracing, extra time they charge and extra lumber it takes to make this roof.
      You should know Labor is NOT cheap. Contractors here will want an arm and a leg and your First born to install this roof.
      Verses just sheathing and shingles. Its not about being better.
      Its about saving money and doing the job quicker.
      Other than weather, wear and tear– Our sheathing and shingle roofs work just fine here.
      I’m not Rich like you Europeans.
      So if you have the money for this elaborate roof system, you go right ahead and spend your money. I don’t care

      Also you just confessed to why you Really hate Americans.
      And now I know why you’re mad at us ???

      @Joe Villarreal lol your funny. it’s not an anti american stance but Americans do have to tendency to act as if they know it better and can do everything better.
      But when in fact like you just admitted they just do it as cheap as possible.
      so what is costly in you opinion?
      for 10.000 euros you will have a brand new tiled roof without the wood. for 15.000 euro’s you have one with wood. what so costly about it? at least you do it ones and your done.

      And when i am dead at 70 my kids can put a new colour on it they do not like black.

      Sins when do americans have tornado’s in ever part of the country?
      We have storms and on the chance a tile flies what almost never happens because they are fixed to the wood of the roof. you put in a new one.

      How much does a roof in the us cost? about 120 square meters?

    Well done job, I live in Brazil, and I would like to make a roof like this in my house, and I would like to know, what is the minimum distance that should leave between the ceiling and the OSB, thanks in advance, Ps: My house have no attic

      Felt paper is trash and hasn’t been used on a French roof (where this style of tile and steel roofing is done) for over 30 years. The water tight membranes we lay over the rafters have enough elasticity to forgive a lightly misplaced foot but anything more requires a repair patch and a round of drinks for the crew. A roofer here quickly learns how to be nimble and mindful when walking around on the rafters or they find another trade.

      @richly mann lol. Right, this is almost realitistic. The problem is how to keep it intacted to be raised with a crane. I think ALL architects should be in the field of building for a least 3 years in order to know how to properly design cause this looks good only on a computer.

    1. David Lavictoire

      The grill above the facia is intended for ventilation between the water tight membrane and the roofing material (tile, steel, slate, etc). The ventilation ensures rapid drying of any condensation. Air tightness is provided by another membrane on the interior side of the insulation.

      I can’t use the word fascinating. This is impossible to build. How can a guy walk the roof when they have nothing but the rafters then felt paper. Where’s he going to be able to walk safely? I would never even attempt to build. I’ve been a carpenter for more than 20 years. Sometimes it looks good on paper, but most engineers don’t know what it takes to actually build things

      @steven stanley Would screws help provide more upwards strength, as opposed to nails?
      I am not a fully qualified carpenter yet, and we don’t really have hurricanes and tornadoes in the UK

    2. steven stanley

      @vince King In hurricane country that is called a ‘wing’ not a ‘roof’. Cause it is going to fly away. wouldn’t meet minimum shear or uplift, etc. And on and on. Like doesn’t gaf said, too much wrong to explain it all
