Questions and Answers -

1/ In order to install the rain screen (“pare pluie”) in the “regles de l’art”, we need to remove roof tiles and lathing. Installation from the inside is not the most appropriate for an installation in the “regles de l’art”. Can you confirm how you wish to proceed for this?

According to the DTU 31.2, removal of the roof tiles and lathing is not required to install the rain rain screen (‘pare pluie”).

2/ Could you please provide pictures of the roof windows and the circular windows.

Please find below pictures.
