ROOFSHIELD

Springvale Roofshield Insulation, a range of expanded polystyrene (EPS) rigid insulation boards, for use as a thermal insulation layer on limited access concrete, timber or metal flat roof decks, in new and existing domestic and non-domestic buildings.

Springvale Roofshield is available in a range of white or Platinum EPS grades as flat or tapered boards, supplied pre-cut to the roof design layout to ensure efficient rainwater run-off, in various thicknesses to allow a suitable range of U-values to be achieved and have a Reaction to Fire Classification of Class E.

Roofshield insulation boards must be either adhesively bonded or mechanically fixed to the air and vapour control layer (AVCL) substrate and used in conjunction with a variety of fully supported waterproofing systems such as built up reinforced bitumen membranes, mastic asphalt or single ply waterproofing membranes or liquid-applied waterproofing systems, as detailed in our Agrément certificate.

Roofshield has been providing efficient and cost-effective solutions for insulating a variety of flat roof constructions for decades, making substantial contributions to reducing CO² emissions and improved energy efficiency of buildings.
