A roof insulation board designed
specifically for use in building projects, ROOFMATE
is constructed from Styrofoam extruded polystyrene, which
has a whole host of benefits as an insulation material,
including a lightweight core, low water absorption and easy
handling. The material is particularly robust and is
therefore suitable for use on heavyweight decks with a
ballast layer of gravel or concrete. |
|
The performance and longevity of
flat roofs depends upon many factors, particularly the
positioning of the insulation. Insulation placed underneath
the structural deck can result in condensation whereas
placing it above, without adequate waterproofing can cause
failure of the insulation over time.
www.roofmate-online.co.uk provides several comprehensive
PDF downloads regarding best practice of installation and is
an invaluable source for those wishing to get the most out
of ROOFMATE. |

ROOFMATE is available in
six different thicknesses ranging from 75mm to 160mm and
provides a u-values of up to 0.16. Unaffected by the
conditions encountered on flat roofs such as wide
temperature fluctuations or repeated freeze/thaw cycles,
ROOFMATE is rot resistant making it ideal for insulating
roof gardens. ROOFMATE LG-X boards have a 10mm
modified concrete topping on the upper surface, eliminating
the need for separate ballast and making it possible to gain
the benefits of the inverted roof on lightweight decks. Also
available within the range is FLOORMATE and
WALLMATE, which, when used in conjunction with each
other enable builders to create a very well insulated
building envelope. |
