Warm Roof / Cool Roof Systems

 


Warm roofs combine a vapour barrier, thermal insulation and exposed waterproofing on top of a roof.

The advantages of this system are:

►  Better condensation prevention and dew point control.
 
►  The dew point is where it should be, on the outside.
 
►  No cold bridging across other building elements. Continuous R-value across the whole roof.
 
►  No requirement for a complicated ventilated internal roof space.
 
►  No heavy screed required (cost savings) on concrete roof slab as the insulation can be designed to provide the falls.
 
►  Cost saving gained from speed of installation.
 
►  Energy cost savings of air conditioning and heating equipment.

►  Designed for specific wind uplift requirements.
 
►  Can be designed to comply with any R-value required.
