Roof Sarking

A protective second skin for your roof

Roof sarking is a pliable membrane installed beneath the roof covering to provide an additional layer of protection for the home.

Roof sarking under construction

Suitable for new construction, extensions, renovations and roof restoration, sarking helps protect the building frame during construction and, once the roof is complete, provides an important barrier against storm-driven rain and dust. It can also improve thermal performance, help manage condensation and provide additional protection against bushfire ember entry.

When combined with an appropriate air space, reflective roof sarking can significantly reduce radiant heat entering the roof cavity, contributing to a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.

Why It Matters

Roof Sarking Benefits

Improved Thermal Performance

Reflective sarking helps reduce radiant heat entering the roof cavity, supporting greater indoor comfort and energy efficiency.

Storm & Dust Protection

Provides an additional barrier against storm-driven rain, wind and dust entering the roof cavity.

Bushfire Ember Protection

Selected products can help protect against ember entry in bushfire-prone areas when installed as part of a compliant roofing system.

Condensation Management

Helps manage moisture and reduce the risk of condensation forming within the roof space.

Added Roof Protection

Provides an additional protective layer beneath the roof covering during construction and throughout the life of the building.
