When it comes to solid roofs the market broadly leans 2 ways, both of which aim towards the same goal: provide an alternative solution to a standard conservatory roof, to allow the homeowner to completely transform their conservatories into a “normal” plastered room and all the comforts this provides. The aluminium framed roof: it might be a little over simplistic, but the begin- nings of what the industry refers to as the solid roof or warm roof basically comes from repurposing stand- ard aluminium frames. To this was added a variety of boards and insulation, to counteract the obvious issues of cold bridging and condensation found in a system whose main purpose was to provide a structural, slimline frame - as it would always be exposed to the eye The timber framed roof was the next logical step to providing the room trans- formation the homeowner required. This traditional roof structure, one tested through time, is ideally suit- ed. With no cold bridging to worry about, the process of insulating and ventilating the roof is much simpler. In- novative solutions had to be found to ensure its suitabili- ty for the conservatory roof replacement market and matched the expectations of an installer market that prefers to work with ready to use solutions. Solutions like the Icotherm Solid Roof system. What is the Icotherm solid roof system? The concept of the Ico- therm roof system stemmed from the belief that timber would be an improved solu- tion over aluminium. Using a material with thermal conductivity of only 0.16 W/m2k (vs 160 W/m2k for aluminium) immediately simplifies the process of in- sulation and ventilation, as the timber does not require cloaking. Using premium C24 building grade timber and 155mm EPS boards guaran- tees the structural integrity and U-Value performance (0.18W/m2k, which can be brought down to 0.12W/ m2k with the use of insu- lated plasterboard, ideal for the Scottish market). The roof has been de- signed to be fully ventilated, with airflow circulating presents Ifazaad can be contacted on 07824 858484 for any help or information required in relation to M.Marcus Ltd and ISEO products FREE to pick up at over 650 trade counters across the UK Catch up with previous issues at proinstaller.co.uk www.icotherm.co.uk
