Choosing the right insulation
Current Building Regulations state that when refurbishing an existing roof, the minimum insulation threshold of U-value 0.35 W/m²K must be achieved to avoid the necessity to upgrade the roof insulation along with the waterproofing.
When this minimum value is achieved, most roofs avoid a condensation issue. If this insulation value is present, a roof can be overlaid with a waterproofing membrane only. If there is less or no insulation in the roof build-up then the roof, where feasible, should be upgraded with roof insulation to meet a minimum U-Value of 0.18 W/m2K.

Why is it important to choose the right insulation?
Choosing the right insulation is essential for achieving the desired performance and to meet building regulations. Current building regulations state that when refurbishing an existing roof, the minimum insulation threshold of U-Value 0.35 W/m²K must be achieved. This can be achieved by overlaying the roof with a waterproofing membrane only if the existing insulation meets this threshold. If the existing insulation does not meet this threshold, the roof must be upgraded with roof insulation to meet a minimum U-Value of 0.18 W/m2K.
