ROOFMATE – YOUR FRIEND ON THE ROOF

Panel Systems, the Sheffield-based insulation manufacturer is reporting consistently high demand for its market-leading product, ROOFMATE. Delivered straight to customer, the high-performance insulation product is proving ever-popular with self-builders and contractors recognising both its benefits and trade price.

Available at www.roofmate-online.co.uk, the dedicated and recently revamped website has received an unprecedented number of hits in recent months. Providing users with the option to buy online, it goes one step further by offering tutorials on how to learn, order and install the product. The site also features comprehensive technical information and a FAQ section which further assists the user’s understanding. In addition, it boasts an intuitive ordering system that automatically calculates the price as the buyer chooses the thickness and quantity of the boards they want.

A roof insulation board designed specifically for use in building projects, ROOFMATE is constructed from Styrofoam extruded polystyrene, which has a whole host of benefits as an insulation material, including a lightweight core, low water absorption and easy handling. The material is particularly robust and is therefore suitable for use on heavyweight decks with a ballast layer of gravel or concrete.

The performance and longevity of flat roofs depends upon many factors, particularly the positioning of the insulation. Insulation placed underneath the structural deck can result in condensation whereas placing it above, without adequate waterproofing can cause failure of the insulation over time. www.roofmate-online.co.uk provides several comprehensive PDF downloads regarding best practice of installation and is an invaluable source for those wishing to get the most out of ROOFMATE.

ROOFMATE is available in six different thicknesses ranging from 75mm to 160mm and provides a u-values of up to 0.16. Unaffected by the conditions encountered on flat roofs such as wide temperature fluctuations or repeated freeze/thaw cycles, ROOFMATE is rot resistant making it ideal for insulating roof gardens. ROOFMATE LG-X boards have a 10mm modified concrete topping on the upper surface, eliminating the need for separate ballast and making it possible to gain the benefits of the inverted roof on lightweight decks. Also available within the range is FLOORMATE and WALLMATE, which, when used in conjunction with each other enable builders to create a very well insulated building envelope.

Danny Phelan, Sales Manager of Panel Systems, explains, “What has made

ROOFMATE so popular is that it has all the properties the contractor or self builder is looking for and it’s just so easy to buy. Orders can be dispatched directly to site and we also provide all the information you need on installation and performance values to make sure you get the best out of every application.”

Danny Phelan continues: “ROOFMATE is suitable for use in a range of building projects. It’s high-level of thermal performance and durability, coupled with the ease of installation, goes a long way to explaining its popularity. Available in a variety of thicknesses and retailing at trade prices, both on and off-line, it provides an excellent way to ensure buildings are more energy efficient and have less impact on the environment.”

Panel Systems is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of insulation products, composite panels, structural foams and portable lightweight staging systems.
