Upgrading insulation on a roof

Increasing the thermal insulation within a roof makes perfect sense and has many benefits to the building, its reduction in energy usage for heating or air conditioning as well as supporting the environment.

Many current flat roofs will require the addition of insulation in order to meet current Building Regulations, and this is added ideally as the waterproofing is renewed.

Installing a warm roof construction on a current building may create challenges, particularly if threshold heights are restrictive.  The Bauder Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) is designed especially for installation on roofs or balconies where height is a constraint. BauderVIP is the thinnest and highest performing insulation within our portfolio, with the vacuum core achieving a thermal conductivity of 0.0072W/mK.

A profiled sheet metal roof can also be a challenge to upgrade the insulation on and for this we have an insulation overlay system whereby the insulation is manufactured to match the profiles on the roof and a sample created to ensure a tight fit before full installation takes place.
