Rockwool Cold Flat Roof Insulation

Standing seam roof insulation.

Rockwool cold flat roof insulation.

Rockwool stone wool roof insulation combines the thermal performance dimensional stability impact resistance and acoustic control required to increase the performance of many flat roof assemblies. A cold roof has the insulation placed below the structural deck which thus remains cold. Flat roofs are a popular and common choice for larger buildings owing to the ease and speed of installation as well as the cost savings as compared with pitched roofs. The waterproof layer is above the insulation and a vapour control layer is placed below the insulation.

Multifix is a dual density stone wool insulation board with a glass fiber coating for flat roofing applications it can be used as an insulating coverboard over other insulations. In these cases it improves performance by regulating the temperature of the thermal insulation. Rockwool have a range of insulation solutions for pitched roofs including between the rafter and over the rafters. Rockwool insulation for flat roof and built up metal roofs has been designed to meet the demands of modern roof systems providing durable solutions which simplify design and lower costs.

A warm flat roof is defined by where the roof insulation is installed which is always above the roof deck. A warm roof has the insulation above the structural deck which is thus kept warm. A combination of high performance rockwool insulation products can be installed within built up metal roof systems to provide excellent thermal acoustic and fire rated solutions. Rockwool stone wool roof insulation combines the thermal performance dimensional stability impact resistance and acoustic control required to increase the performance of many flat roof assemblies.

Flat roof solutions. Pitched roof insulation creating habitable spaces as a traditional method of building construction pitched roofs remain a popular solution in the 21st century owing to the versatility they afford to create additional living space and the low maintenance required over time. Rockwool products are available with a bitumen or mineral coated fiberglass face to be used in a number of roofing solutions. There are two basic categories of roof design.

Loading and impact resistance is also required with compressive strength being an important consideration when selecting flat roof insulation solutions.
