April 6, 20206 yr We are just reviewing our builders quote for our flat roof area. Does this look sufficient insulation? 200mm joists 18mm plywood decking 120mm Kingspan Thermaroof TR27 Hertalan single ply membrane
April 6, 20206 yr Is the 120mm Kingspan being fitted between the joists or above? Edited April 6, 20206 yr by wozza

Does it make a difference?? yes, above the roof (warm roof) won't that the bridging of the joists. However i would say from how it is described that its above the joists. Also how are they doing to achieve the 1:80 fall?

April 6, 20206 yr Recommended reading.. https://www.labc.co.uk/news/how-avoid-defects-claims-flat-roofs https://ebcsltd.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/13flatroofs.pdf Make sure you understand the difference between a so called warm and cold roof construction. Traditional cold roof types must be correctly ventilated to minimise risk of condensation forming in the roof and rotting joists. If you have the height available a warm type is recommended these days. Edited April 6, 20206 yr by Temp
