Warm roof insulation fixings explained

Warm roof insulation fixings explained.

Insulation fixings for flat roofs have evolved over the years to where we are today, about four years ago glueing down the insulation started to take off, mainly because of two things. The cost of the fixings and the fact that we could not get fixings the correct length.
This video shows some of the problems we have with glueing down flat roof insulation. I show you the new thermally broken fixings for warm flat roofs we now prefer to use.
Mechanically fixing down the insulation to a flat roof is now our preferred method. Flat roof insulation is becoming more and more an issue with badly installed vapour barriers and badly installed insulation. If the insulation on your flat roof is not fun and fixed into position correctly cold bridging could occur and internal sweating may take place. We are seeing more and more poorly installed warm and cold flat roofs and the cost of putting right the bad workmanship is expensive. Trying to vent a new flat roof that hasn't been vented correctly is very difficult and normally we have to strip the roof completely and start again.
