50 INSULATION & ENERGY EFFICIENCY


Like all roofing replacement projects, health & safety is of paramount importance, as are the requirements of offsite construction. The benefit of expanded polystyrene is that it can be manufactured to any thickness from 20mm upwards, which means that the boards can be quickly and easily installed in one single layer and contractors avoid having to join multi layers on site, which can often be time consuming and expensive.


Many of our boards are also supplied ‘cut- to-fall’, which again speeds up installation on site and provides the roof with the ability to disperse water. This is because standing water on a flat roof, over a number of years, can lead to issues with deterioration of the waterproof covering. With cut to falls, this is much less of an issue because the incline of the roof takes water away to the guttering, where it is removed.


As the energy performance requirements of existing buildings become more stringent, decisions relating to insulation choice for flat roofs are proving vital to the


overall energy efficiency and carbon footprint. EPS as a material provides several advantages in that it is inert and waterproof, as well as offering excellent lifetime thermal performance. EPS is providing a solution for more specifiers as part of a shift to a more sustainable built environment.”
