Rob’s roof – the Icoroof - is what’s known as a cold roof construction: and yes, cold roof does not exactly give all the right feels, but essentially, it can be described as having the thermal insulation layer located between the ceiling joists so that everything above the insulation (rafters, any roof space) will be colder than the living space below it. “As can be seen from the illustration (cross section 1), that is how the Icoroof, Icoview and Ico600 are constructed, ensuring the empty spaces are well ventilated (as a traditional roof would be) to avoid condensation. By using 155mm EPS insulation we ensure that the “cold” from this roof stays well away from the room. Whether choosing the ‘cold’ or ‘warm’ option, the Icotherm products all share the following technology points: Take a closer look at our unique roof system Ridge Cover Air Flow Air flows in over the eaves and out at the ridges or wall plate.

Why ? Eco-friendly Fully Ventilated Sustainable, FSC certified timber For the perfect living environment by name Thermally Efficient 0.16 U-Value Building Control Compliant » WHETHER WE LIKE IT Cross section 1 They are specified to the highest levels to guarantee performance: • Timber, a material with thermal conductivity of only 0.16 W/m2k, simplifies the process of insulation and ventilation – against an aluminium frame), as it does not require cloaking. • Premium C24 building grade timber and 155mm EPS boards guarantees the structural integrity and U-Value performance (0.18W/m2k, which can be brought down to 0.12W/ m2k with the use of insulated plasterboard, ideal for the Scottish market). • Designed either with a fully ventilated “cold” roof construction, with airflow circulating over the eaves and through the entire roof, or with a “warm” roof construction, ensuring condensation will never be an issue. • Pre-fabricated pods and pre-cut insulation provides a solution that goes up quickly (an average sized roof should go up in 2 hours, with the waterproof membrane on) • 155mm fully recyclable, rigid EPS insulation Building Control compliance Certificate – why does it matter? And did you know? • CRA (Condensations Risk Analysis) checked and approved. • Beams and insulation pre-cut to size • Cut tile service available for shingle tiles • Tiles delivered with the roof • Fully labelled components for a worry-free installation • Building Control Compliant • We can design gable roofs without tie bars or not Building Control makes specific demands. Icotherm invested a lot of time and money into making sure that our roof options are structurally sound and met building control requirements. So, not only does Icotherm provide the installer with a ready to go, easy to install solution, but one for which the structural calculations have already been done. It saves time (fast install, no prep work), money (no material wastage), and of course is building control compliant. And to further protect our product integrity, we now also work with Building Control Inspectors Ball & Berry, who carry out strict checks to ensure the roofs certified are indeed ours.
