Overview
Once oven housing is built, it needs protecting from the elements with a roof.Roof
The roof is constructed on a wooden framework running around the walls, with a space for the chimney. | |
The chimney has been built tall enough for the smoke to be drawn away. Before that, the baker or pizza-man was sure to finish the day "smoked". | |
Roof is then covered with boards, fixed to the framework. | |
The whole is then covered with bitumen tiles. | |
Next the edges and around the chimney are protected from water infiltration by aluminium flashings and silicone sealant. | |
Finally a cover is added to the chimney supported on 2 bricks. > Next: Finishing. < Preceding: Oven housing. |
