Celotex's insulation for hot-applied flat roofing

Producer of PIR (polyisocyanurate) insulation Celotex has launched an insulation board, specifically designed for hot-applied flat roofing applications.

The new product offers contractors an easy and clean product to install and architects the desired U-values at the lowest insulation thickness.

TC3000 insulation boards are designed for use with pour and roll, torch-on and mastic asphalt applications.

Thanks to the product's bitumen polypropelene fleece facers, it provides an effective seal between bitumen products and insulation.

As a highly thermally efficient PIR product suitable for torch-on applications, it achieves low U-values with minimum thickness ranging from 50-150mm.

This offers financial and time savings as it can reduce the need for the double installation of insulation, often required with thinner products.

Alongside its advantages in hot roofing applications, Celotex TC3000 has many other benefits associated with the rest of Celotex' extensive insulation range.

With low Global Warming Potential and zero Ozone Depletion Potential, it holds excellent sustainable credentials, leading it to achieve an A Rating when compared to the BRE Green Guide 2008.

Responding to market demand, TC3000 does not have a sanded face like other bitumen ready boards.

Many installers have told Celotex that these facers are both messy and ineffective, so the company designed the boards without them to meet its aim of providing the most user friendly products available.

Able to accept trafficking from contractors during installation, Celotex TC3000 proves exceptionally workable.

Though strong and durable, it is lightweight making for hassle free transport to rooftops, and can be cut on site with hand tools.

Once in place, its thermal performance is long lasting.

The new product holds dimensional stability and is unaffected by temperature cycles.

Celotex TC3000 is non-corrosive, non-friable and will not degrade when used in conjunction with hot-applied systems.

It is available in a standard board size of 1200x600mm that holds uniform thermal performance throughout the product.

With hot applied flat roof applications well established in the UK building sector, Celotex TC3000 grants specifiers and installers a thermally efficient, simple and cost effective method of insulating such rooftops.
