Mitigating Heat Loss from the Top
Flat RoofFlat roof insulation is the process which involves the application of thermal insulation layer to the structure of a flat or low pitch roof. Unlike pitched roofs flat roofs are often more weather exposed and when uninsulated may present a significant area of heat loss to the top of a building and therefore through this attribute alone can be a major factor in high energy costs and poor indoor climates. Insulation on flat roofs provides a highly effective thermal resistant barrier that in colder seasons would trap warmth and in warmer seasons would limit heat gain thus providing a more constant and comfortable interior temperature throughout the year in addition to lower energy consumption. This is a very important retrofit method that would assure that the roof of your building is performing well as a component of the total thermal envelope.
Virko's Tailored Flat Roof Solutions
Virko Easy Retrofit is an expert provider of flat roof insulation that has the potential of saving you hundreds of pounds on your energy bills and making your building much more comfortable to the homeowner, landlord and even the commercial property management. Our flat roof insulation process is very personal and thorough, as we consider the particular type of a flat roof construction (e.g., warm deck, cold deck, inverted roof), the overall energy efficiency ambitions of the property, and the condition of the roof.
Material Selection & Expert Installation
Flat RoofMost common and robust is a warm deck roof, where the insulation boards are installed directly above the roof deck but below the waterproofing, leaving the structural deck warm and dry. In cold deck roofs, the insulation is placed between the roof joists and proper ventilations are provided to prevent condensation related issues. We apply the high-performance insulation materials such as PIR (Polyisocyanurate) boards, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) or mineral wool that are selected due to their excellent heat resistance, compressive strength, and durability, guaranteeing the long-term and effective solution. The installation process is finalized by our highly qualified professionals and ensures the accurate attention to details, proper sealing, and compliance with the utmost standards of workmanship and the UK building regulations, including the essential integrity of drainage and waterproofing.
