Frequently Asked Questions About Insulation for Flat Roofs

We have included some of the most commonly asked questions about insulation regulations in Kent. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have a question we haven’t covered below.

 

What is the difference between a warm and a cold roof?2021-03-26T14:09:42+00:00

A warm roof has the vapour barrier and the roofing insulation installed above the roof deck and beneath the waterproofing. This keeps the air temperature stable and requires no further ventilation.
In a cold roofing installation, the insulating layers are beneath the roof deck and above the ceiling or roof void. This type of installation requires additional ventilation to maintain air temperature stability and reduce condensation.

Every roofing insulation project has its own set of requirements and costs depend on several factors including project scale, design and your long-term view. Replacing your insulation won’t cost as much as you think and could even save you money over the long term.

What type of insulation do you use on a flat roof?2021-03-26T12:49:44+00:00

The type of flat roofing insulation you use for your project will depend on whether you have a warm or cold roof design. Most projects benefit from warm roofing design, where a PIR insulation board is installed beneath the membrane directly above the roof deck. This allows the heat to remain stable and requires no additional ventilation.

Regulations applying to heat loss through the roofing of domestic and commercial property is a part of the latest set of environmental building guidelines.
