Roof Board Insulation - 07 22 16
Roof board insulation is a thermal insulating rigid panel attached to the roof decking and serves as a substrate for roofing membranes.
Roof board insulation diminishes temperature variations in the roof deck and consequently the expansion and contraction of the deck. Typical board types include polyiso, expanded polystyrene, extruded polystyrene, perlite and lightweight insulating concrete.
Tips on Estimating Roof Board Insulation Costs from RSMeans
Insulation and fireproofing products are measured by area, thickness, volume or R-value. Specifications may give only what the specified R-value should be in a certain situation. The estimator may need to choose the type of insulation to meet that R-value. |
