Foamglas 'Compact Duo-Roof'
insulation of concrete and metal decks - new build or renovation
‘In the FOAMGLAS® Compact Duo-Roof the benefits of Compact Roof Systems (as described earlier) are combined with a protected membrane system. This combination eliminates many of the factors influencing the deterioration in performance experienced with a conventional inverted roof. FOAMGLAS® will not deteriorate with age and remains totally impermeable to water and water vapour ensuring long term insulation performance and extended membrane life.'
