SD-24: Roof to Wall Eaves Connection

What this detail covers

  • The roof-to-wall connection at the eaves.
  • Where rafter extensions may be required (by others) for overhang/finish detailing.

Key steps

  1. Confirm eaves geometry, overhang, and external finish requirements.
  2. Apply PU adhesive at the shown interfaces and seat the roof panel correctly.
  3. Fix to specification (subject to final engineering approval).

Checks

  • Eaves line is straight and the roof seat is consistent along the wall.
  • Adhesive lines are continuous and not interrupted by debris/moisture.

Common mistakes

  • Inconsistent roof seat leading to wavy fascia/soffit lines.
  • Forgetting to coordinate rafter extensions/overhang early.

Indicative only: always follow the engineer’s fixing schedule and the project drawings.
