Sarking Installation Adelaide
Insulating foil layer under the roof - retro-fit or as part of re-roofing.
Sarking is a reflective foil layer installed between battens and roofing material. It improves insulation, reduces condensation, and provides a secondary water barrier. Most pre-2000 Adelaide roofs don't have sarking - it's a common upgrade during restoration or re-roofing.
When you need sarking
- Re-roofing or full restoration in progress
- Tile roof with no existing sarking
- Condensation visible in roof space
What's included in a proper quote
- Tile lift (or as part of re-roofing)
- Foil sarking supply and installation
- Tape and seal at penetrations
- Tile reinstatement
Adelaide-specific considerations
Most 1960s-80s Adelaide tile homes were built without sarking. Adding it during restoration is a smart upgrade for energy efficiency.
