Ely Warm Roof Installation
One of the main complaints we hear about rooms with flat roofs is that, especially when they are on dormer roofs, the rooms can be very cold.
When the time comes for replacing your dormer roof perhaps you should consider installing a warm roof system ? Essentially a warm roof is a system of installing the insulation above the joists rather than in between the joists. The principle behinds this is that the insulation entirely covers the roof, this means there is no gaps for the warmth to escape through joins in the roof, by the sides of joists etc.
This project was a flat roof that had started to leak, the customer noticed damp patches in the ceiling of an upstairs bedroom. The existing roof had not started to leak but in fact had an issue with condensation. The flat roof had a concrete base, and the heat transfer between the cold air outside and the heated bedroom caused condensation. The existing flat roof covering – a rubber membrane – did not allow the roof to breath and there was no vapour layer installed.
We suggested that installing the warm room system would not only cure the condensation but also warm the room considerably.
