Warm Roofs

Warm roofs are insulated roofs with a very low "U-value": 'U-value' measures the rate at which heat transfers over time through a building element (e.g., the roof). The better your roof retains heat, the lower your roof's U-value. All roofs need to be insulated but warm roofs can be insisted upon by building regs, especally where a new roof joins a main building. Because the polymer roofing system reuses spent plastic particles, it retains the thermal insulation properties of plastic, making it an ideal choice for the job (it works for 'cold' roof insulation too - click through to see how we help with each). It's also jointless and seamless, making it harder for heat to escape, and can be tapered to ensure good water drainage.

This newbuild features a sizeable terrace with two patio french doors

This newbuild in Llanrhystud (halfway between Aberystwyth and Aberaeron in Ceredigion, West Wales SY23) needed a warm roof for a good sized first-floor terrace area spanning two sets of patio doors / French windows.

The weather was beautiful so it was enjoyable (if warm!) work. The client chose a quartz system for additional durability and non-slip qualities.

They now have a long-lasting, high-performance terrace overlooking the…

This large, new build roof needed insulating, installing and weatherproofing

The owners of this large new build on Parabola Road in central Cheltenham had very specific requirements, needing a warm roof over a truly huge, flat area.

We're highly experienced in installing warm roofs and flat roofs over more or less any size space, as many of our commercial projects, in particular, show.

The entire roof achieves an excellent u-Value of 0.12 and the system is a 20+ year system, meaning it will retain that…

The area was small and required slate removal from the surrounding area

This Dorma window refurbishment in Aberystwyth, West Wales (SY23) shows no job is too small for the polymer system!

We installed a 15 year overlay system 15 year, ventilation inserted, over an increase of 80mm insulated plaster board. This resulted in noticeable improvement on heat loss.

Topcoat drying - this will provide the base for the composite decking

This seafront property in the Cornish town of Falmouth (TR11) required an overlay system for the installation of new composite decking along the entire terrace length. With its location, one of the key specifications for any installation is a very high degree of waterproofing and weather resistance / weatherproofing, which meant the polymer system was ideal.

In addition, the owners also needed a pool house vapour layered ready for the…

Installing the polymer flat roof jointlessly and seamlessly against lipped ridge

This project involved two roofs at the same property in New Quay on the West Wales Ceredigion coast (SA25). One was a smaller, low-level flat roof with a skylight and tapered drainage; the other was a large, warm roof area atop the building which needed lipped ridge sills to help protect the pitched skylight windows below from excess water. As the photos show, the polymer installation also runs up the side of the chimney stack, creating a…

Insulation being fitted for the warm roof

This insulated terrace roof in the small village of Carno in Powys SY17 required warm roof insulation, noggings/noggins fitted for balustrade railings, and a tapered gradient for drainage. It also enjoys a fully waterproof and weatherproof 20 year guaranteed polymer system.
