Roof

Traditionally, New Zealand roofs were designed as "cold" areas with the insulation at the ceiling. By moving the insulation to above the rafters, we form a "warm roof" concept, similar to the more familiar flat roof approach. 

This concept is especially useful for skillion roofs where there is no ceiling space.

Similar to a wall build-up, the insulation is fixed over the structure (rafters in this case) and then counter battens or purlins are fixed through the insulation into those rafters.

Benefits

  • Can be used with all types and pitches of roofs to provide a continuous insulation layer.

  • Interior finish retained with no loss of volume.

  • Able to mitigate condensation and airflow.

  • Very low loading of the roof structure.

For best in class fire and acoustic performance, ROCKWOOL HardRock boards is unrivalled. 

Benefits

  • High resistance to compression and point loading

  • Non-combustible and can withstand at least 1000ºC without melting

  • Boards do not shrink, warp or deform over time

  • Provides excellent sound absorbing properties
