Requirements for Building Roofs and Roof Insulation
Cold, heat, rain, hail and snow, wind load, UV and infrared rays, as well as various chemicals in the air affect the roof coating. In addition, building movements, stresses and seismic movements are among the factors that stress the roof covering. The building roof must provide permanent protection against many stresses.
Building owners can also make demands on the roof construction. For example, unusual architectural designs may be requested. Gardens on roofs and terraces (green roofs) can improve the quality of life. Energy generation with solar collectors and solar panels can be requested. In addition, roof lights, chimneys, ventilation ducts and antennas may disrupt the integrity of the roof construction.
The following requirements should be considered when selecting the components to be used in roof construction.
- Security
- Continuity
- Economic criteria/ budget
- Low ecological load
- Weight per square meter
- Ease of implementation
- Maintenance periods/costs
A roof construction that is carefully planned with these requirements in mind will protect your building for many years to come.
Considerations to be Considered When Insulating the Roof
- Waterproofing (isolation)
- Thermal Insulation (isolation)
- Sound Insulation (isolation)
