How roofing mesh works.

The traditional built up roof consists of multiple layers of bitumen saturated roofing felts glued to one another with bitumen with a flood coat of more bitumen into which roofing aggregate has been embedded. Because the mesh is quite flimsy it is advisable to rest any ladders onto the wall and not directly onto the guttering. The mesh simply lays on top of the gutter system and is held in place with the supplied clips that should be spaced around 500mm apart. Surecoat poly mesh is a high grade easy to use reinforcing mesh roof fabric used for additional tensile strength as part of the surecoat roof system.

They will then install using screws according to manufacturer specifications. Working from under the soffit your roofing professional will mark the size of the vent and then cut a hole slightly smaller than the unit about two inches shorter and narrower between the rafters. Surecoat poly mesh is a unique woven polyester mesh of uniform thickness with voids large enough for saturation. The mesh can be trimmed to the desired length with scissors or a stanley knife.
