ROOFMATE SL-A

ROOFMATE™ SL and ROOFMATE LG-X are the STYROFOAM™ Solutions for insulating inverted roofs. The boards are unaffected by the conditions encountered on flat roofs, including wide fluctuations in temperature and repeated freeze/thaw cycles. ROOFMATE SL insulation is intended for use on heavyweight decks (eg reinforced concrete) with a ballast layer of gravel or concrete slabs. It can also be used in the ROOFMATE MinK system, which will reduce the rain water cooling penalty, thereby minimising the insulation thickness required. Its rot resistance makes it ideal for insulating green roofs.

ROOFMATE LG-X boards have a 10mm modified mortar topping and are tongue and grooved, eliminating the need for separate ballast and making it possible to gain the benefits of the inverted roof on lightweight decks.

Further information on designing with ROOFMATE LG-X insulation can be found in Insulating with STYROFOAM: Insulating Inverted roofs.
