SoffitThe soffit material is screwed into the suspension rails in 60 centimeter sections. Note that this nature board (Shera brand) and other soffit material is much more whether resistant than gypsum wallboard (even the moisture resistant kind). Most comparable houses use gypsum for the soffit material which isn't advisable. dozerSep 27, 2011

Roof InspectionDon't fool yourself into thinking CPAC roof tiles are totally dummy proof. Leaks often occur at the ridge lines and valleys. A inspection during a rain cycle ensures compliance. This roof had no leaks, hurray!dozerSep 27, 2011

The frame work for the roof structure is box section 4 inch x 2 inch heavy 3.2 mm thick metal sections. There are columns at even intervals so a more extensive truss system is unnecessary (as opposed to Chok Dee #1).dozerSep 27, 2011

Hip Roof StructureThe raw hip roof structure. The key members are the 3.2 mm thick steel with intermediate sections done in the 2.0 mm thick steel. Box sections are used throughout, no C sections. dozerSep 27, 2011

Raw WeldA raw (prior to rust painting) weld. The 3.2 mm thick electrode rods are used (as opposed to the 2.6 mm variety) for a heavy duty weld. All welds should be inspected when ever possible. dozerSep 27, 2011

Galvanized Sheeting for Roof ValleyMost of the problems with CPAC concrete roof tiles come from inadequate valley material or poorly done ridges. It is easy to get the wrong stuff, just go to any supply store and ask for the valley material that everyone uses. This is the 1 meter wide material, formed in the center for water run-off, roofs with this as valley material (properly installed) don't have problems. dozerSep 27, 2011
