More than any other part of a building, its roof system
components must complement each other. From the deck to the
insulation to the membrane, careful selection and installation of
all roofing materials are necessary for a high-performance roof
assembly.
Insulation is a crucial component, of course, because it
contributes to a roof system's thermal performance and overall
durability while providing a substrate for the roof membrane. And
the decision of which insulation type to use can profoundly affect
your profitability.
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) rigid foam insulation is one
insulation type that should be considered. Although you probably
are familiar with EPS, you might not be aware of the wide range of
products available and the ways EPS can help reduce labor and
material costs.
