Warm Roof Construction

The construction of a warm roof involves the placement of insulation over the top of the roof structure, leading to the warmth of the timber structure beneath. It is one of the easiest ways of insulating a flat roof as it does not alter or open the existing roof’s structure. This type of roof system is popular among many in the UK as it eliminates the ventilation requirements and insulates the roofing properly.

FAQ’s​

A continuous vapour barrier is installed between the timber sub-deck and the insulation layer during the construction of a warm roof. This barrier prevents the vapour movement and eliminates the condensation risk. Thus, the installation of ventilation is not necessary with a warm roof.

A warm roof can be installed over any structure, including:

  • Studios
  • Extensions
  • Workshops
  • Conservatories
  • Summer Houses

The key components of a warm roof include:

  • Roof Deck
  • Insulation Layer
  • Waterproofing Layer
  • VCL (Vapour Control Layer)

A warm roof is mostly retrofitted on a roof, eliminating the need to remove the existing roof structure. Insulation and other necessary layers are installed on the roof deck for a simple upgrade.

In warm roofs, the insulation is installed above the roof deck to keep the whole roof structure warm by eliminating the need for ventilation. On the other hand, insulation is present between the rafters on cold roofs, which causes the roof deck to remain exposed to external temperatures, causing condensation problems.
