It pays to specify quality tapered insulation as part of a flat roof application

  • Powerdeck® U: Has the same variable lambda value as Powerdeck®F. Its bituminous facing makes it the ideal board for torch-on waterproofing systems. Powerdeck® U is also BBA-certified.
  • Eurothane® Eurodeck: Compatible with mechanically-fixed, single-ply waterproofing systems, this excellent thermal insulation board offers a consistent lambda value (0.022 W/mK). BBA certified, Eurothane® Eurodeck ensures a superbly-flat surface finish in new-build and refurbishment projects.

Rockwool Hardrock Multi-Fix (DD): A BBA-certified stone wool insulation board, which has a mineral-coated white fleece, this is a true allrounder when it comes to compatibility. Single-ply, EPDM, liquid membranes, green roof systems; Rockwool Hardrock Multi-Fix is the ideal accompaniment to a wide range of adhered and mechanically-fixed waterproofing systems. Its dense composition not only reduces the transfer of airborne noise, it absorbs vibration and sound pollution caused by direct impacts such as heavy rain.

Specialist systems

In addition to our core solutions, Gradient has developed a variety of specialist products for non-standard applications. Topcover, for instance, provides added protection for PIR boards in areas of excessive traffic and high loadings. The ultrathin board, which contains a high compressive strength, is ideal in flat roof applications that experience intense thermal cycling between cold winter temperatures and extremely hot summers.

The company also has a range of pre-bonded hybrid systems, such as a PIR/mineral wool panel, which maintains excellent thermal performance whilst offering superb acoustic properties. Again, this is particularly effective for absorbing the sound rainfall on a flat roof, an issue which is addressed in BB93 guidance for performance standards for the acoustics of school buildings.

Each of Gradient’s specialist systems is imbued with the quality afforded by its regular production methods; a process, which coupled with our teams’ technical expertise, allows the company to create a bespoke tapered insulation solution that will long-term protect a roof and building, as well as safeguard against costly remedial works incurred by less-effective insulation systems.

Property ownership is the costliest investment most people will make in their lifetime. But it could be said that in terms of finance, if you look after your building, your building will look after you. And that means protecting its most prominent asset – the roof – from perils that could further impact a property owner’s spiralling cost of living.
