Question:
I want to put roof shingles on top of a polycarbonate roof over my conservatory. Can you just use adhesive as I can't put nails through polycarbonate. If so, which adhesive should I use? Thank you
Answer:
These IKO ones would need to be nailed so would not be suitable I am afraid. There is the self adhesive option below (but ideally you would also secure these with a nail).
