Warm Roofs

With Warm Roofs, the insulation is in direct continuous contact with the underside of the roof.  The most common form of Warm Roof in New Zealand is pre-formed insulation panel.  Other proprietary systems may consist of several layers with a vapour control layer on the underside.

Warm roofs do not inherently have the same natural ventilation as a cold roof, so the internal environment may require management to prevent condensation problems.
