Frequently Asked Questions
-
Warm Roof VS Cold Roof?
What are the differences and benefits between a warm roof and a cold roof?
The distinctions and advantages of warm roofs versus cold roofs are worth exploring.
Warm roofs have insulation installed above the roof deck, keeping the entire structure warm and reducing the risk of condensation.
On the other hand, cold roofs have insulation installed between the ceiling and the roof deck, allowing for ventilation and preventing heat loss.
The benefits of warm roofs include improved energy efficiency and reduced heating costs, while cold roofs offer better ventilation and moisture control.
-
Why use single ply?
Why use single ply to board flat roofs?

The use of single ply membranes can provide excellent waterproofing properties, energy efficiency, and resistance to UV rays.
Additionally, single ply roofing systems offer flexibility, allowing for expansion and contraction without compromising the integrity of the roof.
