Warm roofs are insulated roofs with a very low "U-value": 'U-value' measures the rate at which heat transfers over time through a building element (e.g., the roof). The better your roof retains heat, the lower your roof's U-value. All roofs need to be insulated but warm roofs can be insisted upon by building regs, especally where a new roof joins a main building. Because the polymer roofing system reuses spent plastic particles, it retains the thermal insulation properties of plastic, making it an ideal choice for the job (it works for 'cold' roof insulation too - click through to see how we help with each). It's also jointless and seamless, making it harder for heat to escape, and can be tapered to ensure good water drainage.

As he lived 90 miles from Aberystwyth, it would be difficult for him to be on site for considerable periods of time, so he also needed the roof fixed quickly.
