Warm Roof Cold Roof Hybrid

Unfortunately you appear to be describing a hybrid roof which is a form of construction that increases the risk of condensation.

Warm roof cold roof hybrid.

Basically the term cold roof refers to a traditional roof or vented roof while hot roof refers to a roof that is not ventilated and which has foam insulation attached directly to the roof sheathing. In a warm roof construction the principal thermal insulation layer is located above the structural decking resulting in the structural deck and support structure being at a temperature close to that of the interior of the building. Warm roof construction requires that the entire roof construction is encapsulated within the insulation envelope of the building to be kept warm. Flat roofing solutions the xtratherm range of high performance insulation boards provides the ideal technically advanced solution for flat roof projects.

There are three recognised designs of flat roof construction. Combining elements of both cold and warm flat roof design hybrid roofs appear to offer the best of both worlds when it comes to maximising thermal performance while limiting constructional depth. The breakdown warm roof vs cold roof. Warm cold and inverted.

If the basic warm roof construction is followed before extra insulation is installed problems can arise. When issues like those above occur it s not surprising that people look at the space between the joists and wonder if they can use it for more insulation. Xtratherm manufactures an extensive range of high performance pir flat roof insulation boards that include tapered insulation providing comprehensive technically advanced solutions for all. But as daniel bosworth design technical manager at sig design technology explains they should be approached with caution.

The warmroof hybrid is our luxurious solid tiled conservatory roof built with slimline glass panels to let the light into your room. Warm roof insulation ensures the entire roof structure is insulated meaning a warm deck roof is more energy efficient than a cold roof. The object being to design out the possibility of warm moisture laden air coming into contact with a cold surface and condensing. This solid tiled and insulated roof is designed to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer for all year round comfort.
