MITIGATING THE RISKS WITH A FOAMGLAS® COMPACT ROOF SYSTEM
FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof is a simple, robust and versatile roof build-up with the exceptional properties of FOAMGLAS® thermal insulation. The compact build-up consists of 3 basic layers fully adhered by bitumen or cold glues: a bearing substrate, FOAMGLAS® cellular glass and the impermeable layer(s). This technically ideal roof system is easy to construct and minimises all the risks associated with activity roofs.
Higher load on activity roofs
Change in condensation conditions
Continued thermal performance over time
Root ingrowth
Impermeable when applying additional layers
Inability to locate and repair waterproofing defects
Future changes in roof use
