French term
voliges 27 mm ... double litelage
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
This is from a job estimate. My problem is that both voliges and litelage or liteaux seem to relate to the same thing, i.e. battens or laths. I am aware that there must be a difference. Would I be correct in thinking that, although they are mentioned first, the "voliges" are the horizontal battens laid across the ones in line with the roof slope? In which case, can I call "double litelage" "double battening", or would the use of that term imply a different construction using tiling pegs?

same function, different roofing
Basically yer actual liteaux are yer tile battens and are placed horizontally across the roof at intervals to match the tile length, with gaps in between.
Yer volige is roof boarding, i.e. generally continuous (no gaps between) for slates and other roofing materials.

As for double litelage, there appear to be two schools of thought. For some, this means double litelage croisé, i.e. a plane of liteaux across the roof slope, as is standard, for securing tiles, and a plane of so-called liteaux running up the slope to which the top plane is secured. This provides ventilation in exactly the same way as my roof which has demi-chevrons supporting liteaux.
The other double litelage is simply one plane of the things supporting a membrane, and another plane above it securing the tiles (with or without an airgap).
I suspect the problem is that, as with chevron, the French are using the name of the object, attributed to its function, for the same object used for a different purpose. IOW, a liteau is - or should be - a liteau only when it is aligned across the roof slope. The problem is that the French will use a piece of wood of the same dimensions for an entirely different purpose and still call it liteau. As with chevron which, although in principle a rafter, is the word used for the piece of timber of the dimensions habitually used for rafters.
Were my demi chevrons the dimensions of liteaux, they would probably be called liteaux, even if they fulfil an entirely different function.

| Thanks Bourth. I have just posted a ref to a drawing that I found on the web. However, it looks like a slightly different arrangement. |

: Typical teminology problem! This sounds like boards, then 2 layers of battens. One advantage being that, should any rain/snow get in , it can run straight down the roof and out rather than lie trapped against the battens running across.

"Le mieux est de réaliser un double litelage, une première rangée de liteaux dans le sens de la pente, une seconde horizontale (30 x 30 ou 30 x 40 mm) pour pointer les bardeaux. On crée ainsi une lame d'air ventilée ce qui permet un meilleur séchage (meilleure longévité). L'écartement de ces liteaux sera de la longueur du pureau"
