Warm and inverted roofs
A warm roof construction has many benefits over a traditional roof, including increasing thermal performance and helping to lower carbon emissions. The Carbon Trust state that around 60% of a building's heat is lost through the buildings fabric, with up to 22% lost through the roof. Installing effective roof insulation will reduce heat loss, saving building owners and residents significant sums of money every year.
Our fully integrated and engineered warm roof systems comprise of all build-up elements. They create a 'breathable roof construction' allowing moisture to escape, and preventing moisture from being retained within your building. With the choice of PIR, mineral wool and Foamglas insulation in combination with our durable cold liquid applied waterproofing systems, the long-term performance of your roof is guaranteed.
Triflex is also the ideal waterproofing system for use in inverted applications, where the hydrolysis resistance of Triflex prevents the waterproofing liquid roof membrane from being broken down over time by standing and ponding water. The inverted system can be used with various overburden. Typical build-ups including a geotextile filter fleece, extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation, a water reducing layer and various overburden, including paving, decking (with and without pedestals) and ballast.
Metal roofs
In addition to common problems including waterproofing gutters and penetrations, metal roofs are subject to specific issues including cut edge, end-lap and general corrosion combined with high levels of thermal movement, as well as gutters and drainage channels sometimes being problematic.
Our range of metal roof solutions offer lasting protection with proven adhesion, durability, flexibility and corrosion prevention and protection.
Green roofs
Green roofs or "living roofs" are becoming increasingly popular within cities where their use is encouraged to combat the urban heat-island effect. Many people choose to install a green roof for their visual impact, without realising the significant number of environmental benefits that come alongside it.
By their very nature, green roofs absorb rainwater, lower urban air temperatures and create a habitat for wildlife. Building owners also see benefits such as sound insulation, structural protection and better thermal performance.
Triflex waterproofing solutions are ideally suited for green roofs as they provide the toughest protection without the added weight to the roof. Our cold applied roofing systems can be installed at temperatures as low as 0°C and are rainproof after 30 minutes, allowing further stages of the installation to be completed. Triflex roofing systems provide a tough, root and rhizome resistant finish without additives which cannot be degraded by standing water or be washed-out and guarantees that the foundations to your green roof are protected for years to come.
Sensitive environments

Traditional roof waterproofing and surfacing materials are often applied using gas torches, burners and hot air guns, not only do these techniques pose a significant fire risk, but they also lead to an increase in insurance premiums.
Triflex cold liquid applied roofing systems not only eliminate any risks caused by hot works but also provides solutions that are solvent and isocyanate free, but Triflex ProThan is specifically designed for use in highly odour-sensitive environments such as; food processing facilities, rail and underground areas, schools and nurseries, pharmaceutical spaces, laboratories, hospitals and clinics removing the need for additional ventilation.
Roof details, repairs and markings
