   Sarking
   `Sarking` is the use of wood panels or `sarking boards` under the shingles of a roof, to provide support. It is a common term in Scotland. The shingles or slates are nailed directly to the sarking boards without timber battens, providing a strong, wind-resistant roof. The term can also refer to an additional layer within a roof that insulates or reflects heat, such as a layer of felt, reflective foil, or polystyrene.
