+
+        The process roughly looks like the following:
+        - Remove the Existing Weatherproof Layer: If the roof is being replaced, remove the old weatherproof layer to
+        expose the timber roof surface.
+        - Install Insulation Boards: Lay the rigid insulation boards directly on the timber roof surface.
+        Ensure the boards fit tightly together to prevent thermal bridging (heat loss through the gaps).
+        - Add a Vapour Control Layer (VCL): This is crucial to prevent moisture from entering the insulation layer,
+        which can lead to dampness and rot. The VCL is placed over the insulation.
+        - Install a New Weatherproof Layer: On top of the insulation and VCL, install a new weatherproof layer. This
+        could be traditional roofing materials like bitumen-based felt, rubber membranes like EPDM, or fiberglass.
