Warm Roof

A Warm roof is a type of roof construction which has an insulation layer above the rafters and immediately below its weatherproof membrane. A warm roof construction allows heat to be conserved within the property, saving on expensive heating bills.

Warm roofing is a popular roofing solution for most modern day construction methods by allowing the insulation layer to be directly below the weatherproofing membrane, no thermal bridging can be lost through the rafters.
