By moving the Roof Insulation to the outside of the structure, the roof deck is effectively brought inside the structure, which results in a warm roof , this removes the the possibility of condensation forming on the underside of the deck and eliminates damp. Because this design works by conserving heat, no ventilation is required.
Modern polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam rigid insulation with reflective foil to both sides provides more than double thermal efficiency compared to mineral or glass wool, and unlike the "cold roof" method the insulation thickness is not limited by the depth of the joists. A vapour barrier or vapour layer is an compulsary ingredient for any warm roof Insulation.
A Quality Roofing Services can quickly and economically convert any older cold decked flat roof to a warm roof, particularly where problems have been tackled sooner rather than later. Where the existing roof deck is in satisfactory condition and of a suitable material e.g. plywood, the insulation is fixed directly on top, often with the existing felt roof acting as the vapour barrier. The whole build-up will then be waterproofed with a high performance roof covering, such as Firestone rubbercover Epdm roofing. This ensures that your investment is protected and will continue to pay dividends long in to the future, repaying itself many times over in savings in heating costs.
A single ply Flat roof covered with a Firestone backed warranty makes a property much easier to sell. Firestone rubber roofing is Ideal for porches,extensions and garage roof re-do's or complete garage re-roofing works.
