    hi
    i am currently slowly building a 6060 x 4000 extension, brick @ block and would appreciate any help and advice.
    could any one help calculate the roof load.specified as -
    50x170 C24 @ 400 centres
    12mm ply on firrings to falls
    115mm celotex
    6mm external ply
    3 layers felt

    also, whilst trying to be in keeping with existing building i would like to have full height doors and windows (to roof height) which therefore would leave me a span across the front of 6m with an 'opening' of 4m for glazing. i would like, if possible to span this with wood and joist hang off of it. what would be best to use for this? C24 bolted together? solid bean? flitch beam?
    i am trying to research as much as possible but finding answers hard to come by.
    any help is much appreciated.

    You haven't included a vapour control layer under your insulation either

    Would have had 18mm external ply myself.
