Hi, I emulsioned the inside of the roof to spruce it up but I've now read that this can be a problem as condensation can cause it to flake. Is that true ?
If so, looks like I might have to go the Veltrim route.
Cheers,
Ray

Emulsion on inside of roof
Re: Emulsion on inside of roof
Ray,
I don't know if I'd want to line the roof with veltrim. I've not done it myself but I'd be inclined to think it'll make the roof heavier, plus, if the glue looses adhesion you'll end up with sagging or droopy spots, which could be very difficult to rectify once the whole ceiling has been trimmed.
I'm in the process of getting a quote for having the ceiling flocked which might be an avenue for you to go down.

Re: Emulsion on inside of roof
Hello Ray,
I agree with Mathew, paint on the roof will cause condensation and will probably eventually peel, I used a very thin foam backed car headling on mine (see post "First outing after rebuild") and have had no problems with it.
If you use something as thick as Veltrim you will have problems when you try to collapse the roof as there is very little space between it and the sides when fully closed, even the stuff I used had to be trimmed slightly at the edges to allow the roof to go down properly.
Regards, Fraser.

Re: Emulsion on inside of roof
We have veltrimed our roof with no problems. Haven't noticed any weight difference & the high heat adhesive is good up to 120C! Should be ok in our British summers!
The roof shuts down as well as it always did.
No condensation & really cosy.
