What it does
This feature allows you to set up insulation and underlayment items for later use in creating insulation systems or single layer underlayments, such as 'sarking', underlay or #30 felt. Like all products in Roof Wizard, the key item in the definition is the Product Code – this links the products with accessories, pricing, and labour systems.
The insulation items you define may be used on roof or walls, so consider the application when setting up each product.
