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.
Warm Roofs

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.

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…
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…

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.

This roof in Llandinam (SY17) was an unusual project in terms of shape and design - constituting a wide strip of roofing surrounding a central opening for an extra large skylight lantern aperture over a sun room. The roofing area also needed to be meticulously tapered to the guttering to provide thorough drainage from the central area to avoid puddling, which could damage the roof structure and impair safety. We used two outlets draining to a…

This detached building in Hereford required a new warm roof (for more on warm roofing click here) to comply with building regulations and create a cosy environment below. The photographs show the overall building as well as the joists ready for insulation.
