In a warm roof construction, the insulation is placed above the deck, ensuring that the deck remains at the same ambient temperature that is being experienced within the building.
In a warm roof construction the Sika-Trocal membrane and INNObond thermal insulation is installed above the structural decking. In principle this keeps the structural deck (usually trapezoidal steel or timber) at more or less the same temperature as the inside of the building A vapour control layer is required underneath the insulation in to prevent moisture vapour being transmitted from the building outwards where it could condensate in the roof construction (interstitial condensation).
Warm roofs are generally considered as very effective for energy use reduction and building performance. However the thermal insulation type and thickness is critical. Sika-Trocal carry out thermal and condensation risk analysis for every project. Furthermore a bespoke designed system eliminates any performance and design issues.
