Front Fascia Flat Roof Detail
In this video, our principal surveyor – Steven Dickinson, explains problems with insulating a roof using the warm and cold roof construction methods.
Cold Bridging in Flat Roofs
In England, we put the vapour control layer the warm side of the roof we also don’t vent our warm roofs.
Flat Roof Insulation Fixings
New and old ways of fixing flat roof insulation. As the warm roof market has progressed standard ways of construction are starting to develop. Fixing down the insulation with long metal screws and or screw nails is becoming a thing of the past.
Condensation in a Flat Roof
This customer in Ealing had a new flat roof and thought all his problems were over until he removed some of the pasteboard from the ceiling and saw this condensation on the underside of the new roof decking.
Thermal Bridging of an Insulated Flat Roof Through the Front Fascia
I have watched a few of your videos in regards to flat ‘warm roofs’ on YouTube and have found them to be of great guidance with my current new build extension. Accordingly, I would be most grateful if you would answer a couple of questions that I have regarding your video posted on YouTube entitled ‘Thermal Bridging of a insulated flat roof through the front fascia’.
Thermal Bridging From Screws on a Flat Roof
I want to put a second layer of ply sheet on top of the insulation board, I can screw that down around the edges, but want to put a line of fixings down the middle, but this would mean going through the board until I get to the ply underneath.
Warm Roof or Cavity Wall Insulation
I currently have a flat roof extension for my bathroom and kitchen, this is how I bought the house, but it has no insulation and it leaks also. My walls are cavity on the extension but they are not insulated, my question is, would I be better fixing the roof with a warm roof or filling the walls with insulation?
Thermal Imaging of Side of Building
I was doing a thermal imaging survey of a flat roof in London and look what I found on the pall of another property. You can see the chimney flues removing the hot air from inside the building. But what a great photo.
Thermal Bridging of an Insulated Flat Roof, Through the Front Fascia
In this video I explain problems with insulating a roof using the warm and cold roof construction methods. Whatever new flat roof covering you choose, e.g. EPDM rubber, Kemper, Liquid Rubber Triflex, if the specification of the insulation is not correct you could have problems which could include rotting joists.
In Depth Comparison of New Flat Roofs, Warm & Cold
New flat roofs using the warm and cold flat roof methods. New flat roofs in London and the UK need to come up to the new building regulations. In this video I try to explain the difference between the two methods of construction for a new warm flat roof and a new cold flat roof.
