The upgrade of a building’s energy efficiency leads to the reduction in heating and cooling costs, improving the indoor comfort and wellness conditions and potentially leads to the reduction in carbon emissions while creating a sustainable environment. Frequent problems with humidity and heat losses lead to the solution of insulation systems especially in the building’s roof area.
The roof is the exposed part of a building that receives multiple stresses from weather and mechanical forces so that an insulation and waterproofing application is proved to be necessary.
One of the solutions that both increases the energy efficiency of a building and protects a roof is the inverted roof insulation system, considered as a complete solution because it combines the thermal insulation and waterproofing application together.
In the inverted roof insulation system the insulation actually is being applied above the waterproofing system.
For better system results, the installation of a extruded polystyrene is needed because it withstands greater stresses, has a high thermal efficiency standard and it does not allow the penetration of moisture, achieving absolute waterproofing.
The solution of an inverted roof insulation system offers:
A complete environmental and weather stresses protection in any season, eliminating moisture, reducing heat loss at the same time.
It can be applied at any time of the year on all types of roofs while protecting the existed waterproofing membrane from any form of stress, extending in this way its performance duration. In addition, it provides full traffic use accessibility to the surface as long the roof has been constructed with top-quality products.
