Foil and sarking: defining each layer’s role
Name the intended role of every layer in the roof or wall before selecting foil or sarking. Review the specified arrangement and moisture strategy with the designer, rather than choosing from the reflective appearance alone.
Define the selection
Use a drawing of the proposed layer sequence when asking technical questions. Identify the exact membrane and compatible accessories in the order, and refer unresolved moisture or installation details to the responsible designer or manufacturer.
Check before comparing products
- Product classification and intended location.
- Adjacent layers and specified air spaces.
- Installation and electrical safety instructions.
Build a material list that can be checked
Record the selected product name or SKU, each required size and the quantity for each work area. Use the actual listed coverage when estimating packs or boards, and confirm the allowance with your installer. Include compatible accessories and keep a copy of the agreed selections.
