Insulation in a warm roof.
Thermoplastic or elastomeric are the most effective and should extend up adjacent walls at least 150mm from the roof surface.
Building regulations standards set the levels of thermal insulation required when carrying out building work either for new build or refurbishment projects.
Cold deck this is where the insulation is placed between the joists rafters or in between the ceiling joists in the case of a pitch roof.
Since the government laid out new thermal and insulation regulations in 2010 it has emerged that warm roof systems are the best way to meet the required standards.
