A solid roof deck usually consists of 4’x8′ sheets of plywood or OSB installed over rafters on new construction homes and over skipped or spaced sheeting on re-roofs. These are to be properly spaced, supported, and fastened to the rafters as per local building codes. Thickness of OSB or plywood sheeting is to be as per local building codes. This solid roof deck then becomes the smooth, clean surface to install your underlayment over. The underlayment installs flat to the deck, and since the deck is solid there is less likely chance of underlayment being damaged. The roof deck now becomes a solid anchor to fasten your new roof to.
