Axter does not recommend the use of screeds to create falls, preferring instead the use of tapered thermal insulation. If screeds are to be specified then they should be installed in accordance with BS 6229:2003 and be allowed to dry out before laying any reinforced bitumen membrane roofing. Lytag based screeds should not be specified. |
