A1 Roofing Milton Keynes

When it comes to insulating a warm flat roof in Milton Keynes, selecting the correct thickness of insulation is crucial to ensure optimal energy efficiency and compliance with building regulations. At Quality Approved LTD, we understand the importance of proper insulation and are here to guide you through the process.

The U-value is a measure of how well a building element, such as a roof, resists heat flow. The lower the U-value, the better the insulation. For warm flat roofs, the recommended U-value is 0.18 W/m²K or lower.

To achieve the desired U-value, the insulation thickness will depend on the type of insulation material used. Here are some common insulation materials and their recommended thicknesses:

• PIR (Polyisocyanurate) insulation: 80-100 mm
• PUR (Polyurethane) insulation: 80-100 mm
• EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) insulation: 120-150 mm
• Mineral wool insulation: 150-200 mm

When determining the required insulation thickness, several factors need to be considered, including:

• Climate: Milton Keynes has a temperate maritime climate, which means that the insulation thickness may need to be adjusted accordingly.
• Roof type: The type of flat roof, such as a warm roof or a cold roof, will affect the insulation thickness.
• Existing roof construction: If the roof is being retrofitted, the existing construction may impact the insulation thickness.
• Building use: The type of building, such as residential or commercial, will influence the insulation thickness.

In the UK, building regulations require that new buildings and extensions meet certain energy efficiency standards. For warm flat roofs, the recommended U-value is 0.18 W/m²K or lower. To achieve this, the insulation thickness will need to be sufficient to meet this standard.
