There are lots of important factors to consider when installing a flat roof, from thickness of materials to making the most of your budget. We can offer a number of insulation solutions to meet the requirements of your specific project.
Our Flat Roof Insulation Solutions
Material | Advantages | Products |
|---|---|---|
Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs) | Suited to applications where there may be a requirement for both low U-values and the thinnest possible roof build-up Problem solver for where a lack of construction depth or space is an issue Optimum performance with a declared thermal conductivity of just 0.007 W/mK Design service for your specific roof For use with most fully adhered single-ply waterproofing membranes |

Our Flat Roof Insulation Solutions
PIR | High performance insulation - thermal conductivities as low as 0.022 W/mK Fully compatible with most mechanically fixed single-ply waterproofing systems Compatible with most green roof systems Installation technique is ideal for fast track building programmes Easy to handle and install compared to some other commonly used insulants | Thermaroof TR26 - for use with mechanically fixed single-ply waterproofing Thermaroof TR27 - for use with fully adhered single-ply, partially bonded built-up felt, mastic asphalt and cold liquid applied waterproofing |
Rigid Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) | Ideal for car park decks High compressive strength withstands vehicle loads Easy to handle and install compared to some other commonly used insulants |
Rock mineral fibre | A1 Euroclass Fully compatible with most mechanically fixed single-ply waterproofing systems |
Easily compare how the use of different materials, or thicknesses of materials, can impact the overall thermal performance of a building. This helps to ensure you specify and install the right insulation thickness and set clear construction targets.
