Information Paper 2/89 Thermal performance of lightweight inverted warm deck flat roofs
Publication Year
1989
Document Status

Abstract
BRE research indicates that when the inverted warm deck roof is used in conjunction with a lightweight deck, thermal performance during rainfall may fall far enough below theoretical expectations in certain locations to allow risk of condensation in the roof. Further work validates a simple modification to the design which could be incorporated to reduce this risk. These findings will be of value to designers and architects considering the use of the inverted flat roof option.
