At Mayta + Sebastian Architecture, we know that a well-insulated roof is the cornerstone of your building’s durability and efficiency. Quality insulation not only protects the structure but also enhances indoor comfort and energy efficiency. Here’s a breakdown of the key layers that make up superior insulation and their benefits:
🔹 Cap Sheet
Function: Provides the final layer of protection against the elements.
Benefit: Ensures a waterproof and weather-resistant barrier.
🔹 Base Sheet
Function: Acts as a stable base for the top layer.
Benefit: Enhances the roof’s durability and provides a solid foundation.
🔹 Primer
Function: Prepares the roof surface for the adhesion of other layers.
Benefit: Guarantees a strong, long-lasting bond, preventing peeling.
🔹 1/4″ Cover Board
Function: Provides additional support and impact protection.
Benefit: Increases the strength and stability of the roofing system.
🔹 Taper to Drain
Function: Facilitates proper water drainage.
Benefit: Prevents water accumulation and potential leaks.
🔹 Polyiso Insulation (6″)
Function: Offers superior thermal insulation.
Benefit: Improves energy efficiency and reduces heating and cooling costs.
🔹 Vapor Barrier
Function: Prevents moisture and vapor penetration.
Benefit: Protects against moisture damage and maintains structural integrity.
🔹 Temporary Roof (Torch Applied)
