No boards in this roof. We fitted lath between the rafters, left the vents clear, and applied the insulating lime-cork plaster straight onto it.
An Argatherm and Argacem ultrafine top coat finishes it. The whole roof is insulated in natural, breathable materials, and the rafters stay exactly where they were.
