The sawing, nailing and hammering is so intense that you think about the poor neighbors more often than usual. From now on, you increasingly get the feeling that you are in a house, because it is at least visually closed. But the <strong>roof boarding <\/strong>alone is not enough to seal the house, it rains a lot in August and we are waiting for the <strong>sealing<\/strong> and, together with the windows, their installation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Florida, the <strong>roof formwork <\/strong>is usually installed on a wooden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/house-construction-report\/roof-framing\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6999\">roof truss <\/a>that has been erected exactly according to the construction plan. The roof structure usually consists of prefabricated roof trusses that can be assembled quickly. They form the supporting framework for the subsequent roof cladding.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roof formwork with plywood panels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as the roof truss is in place, the roof surface is planked with large-format <strong>plywood panels, often 5\/8 \u201cor \u00be\u201d thick plywood<\/strong>. These boards are laid over the entire surface of the rafters and fixed in place with nails or screws. The joint offset ensures that there are no weak points in the surface. Additional retaining clips or metal connectors are often used in areas that are particularly susceptible to wind, such as the eaves and ridge areas, in order to meet the requirements of the hurricane code.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The planked roof surface forms the basis for the subsequent roof waterproofing with <strong>underlay membrane (roofing felt)<\/strong> and the final roof covering &#8211; usually asphalt shingles or metal roofing. The solid plywood formwork provides stability and load distribution. The boards protect the house from the initial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/reiseplanung\/climate\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"7152\">effects of the weather<\/a>during the

This precise fastening is not only required by building regulations, but also plays an important role in the so-called <strong>Wind Mitigation Report<\/strong>, which can later be decisive for insurance discounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the roof boarding is approved by a municipal building inspector before further cladding is applied &#8211; an intermediate step that is often overlooked, but is necessary to stay on schedule. The <strong>planning and preparation of the roof ventilation<\/strong>, such as ridge vents or gable vents, which prevent long-term moisture problems in the roof space, usually takes place at the same time as the cladding.
