Description

Roof Heat Insulation Materials in Nairobi, Kenya

PE Insulation 10mm

The GCS roof heat insulation materials protects your roof space from heat build-up due to radiant heat penetration by acting as a heat barrier to protect all services within the roof space from drying out, cracking and degradation due to UV and solar heat gain.

GCS roof insulation is a cost-effective insulation that is suitable for use in metal deck roofing system in residential, commercial, industrial and horticultural buildings where temperature variations are moderately/relatively high and where there is a need to reduce the disturbing rain noise.

Other Advantages of the GCS roof Heat Insulation Materials are;

• Effective thermal insulation; It has an R- Value of 27.40ft².F.h/Btu; RSi of 4.83m²K/W.
• Effective barrier against impact noise with a 28db contact noise reduction.
• Fire retardant.
• Is an effective moisture barrier.
• Maintains its thermal insulating properties over time as it does not collapse.
• It seals around fasteners ensuring no leakages into the building from the roof.

Roof Heat Insulation 5mm With Double Side reflective Foil

• GCS Roof Insulation is double-sided reflective foil insulation, with a 5mm thick polyethylene foam core, that provides a radiant barrier, reflective insulation and a moisture barrier. It protects your roof space from heat build-up due to radiant heat penetration by acting as a heat barrier to protect all services within the roof space from drying out, cracking and degradation due to UV and solar heat gain.
• It is a cost-effective insulation that is suitable for use in metal deck roofing system in residential, commercial, industrial and horticultural buildings where temperature variations are moderately/relatively high and where there is a need to reduce the disturbing rain noise.

Frequently Asked Questions about Roof heat Insulating Materials

1. Temperature

Averagely a temperature drops of 7°C is easily achieved

2. What is the percentage energy savings attained by using the PE roof insulation?

A reduction of 30% – 40% on energy cost is achieved where Air Conditioning units are in use.

3. Does PE Roof Insulation reduce rain noise?

Yes. It reduces contact noise (e.g. rain noise) by about 19dbs especially the 10mm thick

4. Does PE roof insulation collapse with time?

It does not collapse with time; it maintains its structure/form over time.

5. How does PE Roof Insulation work?

It reflects the solar radiant heat and blocks heat transfer through conduction and convection.

6. Can nails or screws piercing through the Insulation damage it?

It seals around nails once pierced through.

7. Can the Insulation be laid directly on the Roof purlins?

It is laid on the purlins and given a small sag.

8. What is the standard thickness/size of PE Roof Insulation?

PE Roof Insulation is available in 3 different thicknesses depending on your application.

9. What is the lifespan of PE roof insulation?

It is long lasting and lasts at least forty years.

10. Does the reflective film delaminate or peel off?

PE Roof Insulation does not delaminate or peel off with time.

11. Can PE Roof Insulation be installed on an existing roof?

Yes, it can. The insulation is laid below the purlins and supported by galvanized GI wire strainer wires or galvanized mild steel plates. An overlap of about 100mm is recommended while installing.

12. What thickness of insulation is needed?

This depends very much on the height of the roof from the floor and the operational temperature of the area to be insulated. In addition, the insulation effect increases with the thickness of the product.

13. How is your product better than alternates in Kenya?

Product quality, service and technical back-up have ensured that PE roof Insulation remains one of the brand leaders in the insulation field. We maintain a strict protocol that ensures that all product manufactured meet the laid down specifications for each grade. In addition, our insulation carries the KEBS standard mark of quality ensuring that it maintains the high standards set down for the product.
