Green Roof Insulation
Optimise the insulation of your green roofs with the PIR solutions from Recticel Insulation.
Thermal insulation plays a central role in the energy performance and sustainability of a building. At Recticel Insulation, solutions are developed based on PIR (polyisocyanurate) specifically designed to meet the strictest requirements of modern flat roofs. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial buildings, insulation boards offer optimal efficiency, fast installation, and exceptional long-term reliability.
Flat roofs are a demanding construction typology: they must combine mechanical resistance, impeccable waterproofing, and durable thermal performance.
When a flat roof is greened, the choice of insulation materials becomes an important challenge, both technically and environmentally.
In addition to the classic requirements for thermal insulation and indoor comfort, architects face additional challenges: increased structural load, moisture management, compatibility with waterproofing systems, and durability against roots and climate fluctuations. In this complex context, the PIR insulation developed by Recticel is the ideal solution.
Specific PIR insulation for green roofs
Green roofs are becoming increasingly popular due to their many benefits: improving biodiversity, thermal regulation, optimizing rainwater management, and contributing to a more pleasant urban environment. However, their design requires reliable materials that can bear additional loads and effectively protect waterproofing.
Recticel's PIR insulation boards are the ideal solution for this type of application:
- Enhanced mechanical resistance: designed to sustainably support the weight of the green roof buildup without loss of performance.
- High moisture resistance: thanks to their closed structure, PIR boards minimize the risk of water absorption.
- Thermal comfort: the combination of PIR insulation and vegetation provides a stable indoor temperature in both summer and winter.
- Contribution to environmental goals: an insulated and vegetated roof actively contributes to achieving sustainability and energy efficiency goals.
