Insulation
In the vast majority of both new build and refurbishment projects, the presence of insulation is either considered or required. Approved Document L of the Building Regulations provide more information on where insulation is required and what target or U Value must be achieved.
It is important to note, that these regulations are regularly revised, so the latest version should always be consulted.

Sikatherm® is suitable for mechanically fixed, adhered and ballasted flat roofing types.
