Technology and installation: Single-skin top insulated roof system
For this roof system, the supporting roof substructure which forms the surface comprises a trapezoidal profile. Here, supporting shells with a height of at least 85 mm and a sheet thickness of 0.88 mm or greater are generally used here. The supporting shell is installed as a positive layer. The exact regulations for the roof structure can be found in the relevant directives for flat roof construction. The roof structure is implemented in layers and is comprised of the following, from outside to inside:
- Roof seal made from bitumen sheeting or plastic or elastomer sheeting
- Thermal insulation made from closed-cell rigid foam, foam glass or treadable mineral wool
- Vapour barrier made from bituminous material or plastic
- Supporting roof substructure made from trapezoidal profile
