WHAT DOES SARKING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sarking

Sarking is a British English word with multiple meanings in roof construction: ▪ the use of wood panels, or "sarking boards", called sheathing, sheeting or decking in American English, under the roof covering materials such as the shingles of a roof to provide support. It is a common term in Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand. The shingles or slates are nailed directly to the sarking boards without timber battens, providing a strong, wind-resistant roof. ▪ The term can also refer to an additional layer within a roof that insulates or reflects heat, such as a layer of felt, reflective foil, or polystyrene; ▪ The roofing felt or other type of underlayment under the roof covering for extra resistance to leakage. ▪ The word sarking is further used as part of the term "scrim and sarking", a method of interior construction widely used in Australia and New Zealand in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this method, wooden panels were nailed over the beams and joists of the house frame, and a heavy loosely-woven cloth, called scrim, was then stapled or tacked over the top of this.

Definition of sarking in the English dictionary
