WarmRoof - a waterproof roofing insulation system

A warm roof (for low slope roofs) is “a roof where the roof insulation is installed on top of the structure” i.e. insulated from the outside of the building.
One if the benefits of a thermally efficient warm roof is the transfer of a building's dew point to the outside. This prevents internal dampness of structural materials and negates the need for vents that would normally allow air to escape.
A Viking WarmRoof system is BRANZ appraised (Appraisal No. 713), insuring it meets New Zealand building code requirements.
A Viking WarmRoof system is perfect as an overlay option on any existing roof - including metal

Why a Viking WarmRoof system?
-
Thermal performance helps towards achieving green star points

- Savings in air conditioning and heating costs
- Rigid insulation sheets = structural integrity to the roof
- Significantly higher R-values are achieved
- Easily retrofitted onto an existing building
