Here at D-marc we’re in the business of making work at height, namely roofing work, safer with our innovative rooftop safety solutions.  As such, we keep a close eye on the news for stories about roof work and working at height in general so that we can provide our readers with useful and relevant information that will keep them up to date with what’s going on in our industry.

When it comes to a flat roof, one of the most important considerations is which type of insulation to use – and this is just as true for roof refurbishment projects as it is for new roof installations.  The main purpose of insulation is to maintain a comfortable temperature within the building envelope and this is measured through the thermal conductivity (lambda value) of the material used.  The lower the lambda value of the insulation material, the more difficult it is for heat to pass through.  Thermal performance will be enhanced and a reduced thickness can be used to achieve the desire
