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

The owners of this porch roof in rural Stoke Golding in Leicestershire needed a warm roof but also wanted the traditional lead look for their property.
Warm roofs must comply to U-value standards on insulation set by the government (more about warm roofs) and are essential for any roof areas that adjoin residential properties, including porches, extensions and join-on garages.
The porch was roofed, including standing seams,…

This building at Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire required a warm roof with a u value of .13 in order to compensate for an unusually large surface area of glass below (from patio doors & other glass elavations).
The system insulation was 220mm thick, fully adhered, and did not need an extra layer of ply decking to sandwich the insulation, as the insulation we used is specially manufactured to be walked on for…

This onetime-garage flat roof in Comins Coch a mile outside Aberystwyth in West Wales needed to conform to strict U value standards as it was being remodelled as a family kitchen and would be attached to the main property, thus making it a warm roof as well as a flat roof.
The fully adhered Powerdeck B insulation board is a high performance, rigid foam board with excellent strength and stability and very low thermal conductivity,…

The popular 36 room Belle Vue Hotel in Aberystwyth contacted us in desperate need of a new roof for a rear-facing area of the hotel. The existing mastic asphalt roof was blistered and leaking, requiring full re-waterproofing and weatherproofing, all while the hotel remained operational.
We always love the opportunity to show how perfect the polymer roofing system is for jobs like these. Most roofing systems would affect a hotel's…

Warm Roofs are roofs that meet strict government guidelines for insulation or U-value (read more about warm roofs)
This project in Bow Street near Aberystwyth demonstrates how easy it can be to turn an existing roof into a warm roof - a simple process involving first stripping it down to the joists then fitting perimeter insulation inside the void and cold bridging joist.
New ply decking was fitted over the entire roof to…

The old mineral felt roof of this Aberystwyth investment property was in such disrepair that it was in danger of being blown completely off at any time. With excellent tenants living below, the landlord was keen to remedy this problem with minimal disruption to his tenants. As he lived 90 miles from Aberystwyth, it would be difficult for him to be on site for considerable periods of time, so he also needed the roof fixed quickly.
The…
