Non-combustible insulation for flat roof projects

摘要

Flat roof materials manufacturer, Bauder, has launched a new insulation for warm and inverted flat roofs which offers the highest level of protection from fire on the market. BauderGLAS insulation is the ideal solution for projects that are exposed or incorporate hard landscaping and is most suited to balconies and terraces requiring non-combustibility and regular foot traffic. The fire performance of individual construction products, including insulation as a separate component, is covered by BS EN 13501-1. Insulation in a Bauder warm roof waterproofing system for TS 1187 test 4 - be it mineral wool, cellular glass, or PIR - is not directly exposed and is therefore protected through the performance of the cap sheet and its system classification of B_(ROOF)(t4). Therefore these insulants in-situ all conform to Building Regulations for External Fire on Roofs in the same way; none achieves a higher rating than the other.
