PART ‘L’ COMPLIANCE

Since the publication of Building Regulations Part L, 2006, the new ‘u’ values for pitched warm roofs, where the insulation is above the rafter, is 0.18 – 0.20 W/m2K. Warm roofs, used to maximise living space and constructed using InSkews, have been shown to comply with these latest Part L Building Regulations.

  WARM ROOF BENEFITS
  • Complies with Building Regulations – Part L.
  • Reduces heat loss and retained heat gain.
  • Lagging of pipes and tanks eliminated.
  • Reduces running costs.
  • No cold bridging.
  • Protection against damp and corrosion.
  • Roof tile ventilation no longer required.
  • Produces a Room-in-a-Roof space.
  INSKEW RECOMMENDATIONS

The following insulation manufacturers recommend InSkew and specify it in their BBA certification.
  • Celotex – GA 3000
  • Dow – Styrofoam, RL & PR
  • Ecotherm – Pitched roof board
  • Kingspan – TP10

  THE BENEFITS OF USING INSKEW

Designed specifically for use in warm roof construction, InSkews are structurally more reliable, due to their helical profile, and more economical than traditional nails as far fewer are required. Other benefits include:
  • Free in-house design service available with a rapid response.
  • Written specifications covered by Helifix Professional Indemnity insurance.
  • One piece, stress-free, stainless steel fixing.
  • Designed to withstand the structural loads – both the roof weight and wind suction.
  • High performance – fewer fixings required.
  • Excellent holding power in both tension and compression.
  • Prevents compression of insulation and does not impair its thermal performance.
  • Hammer or power driven normally without pre-drilling.
  • Recommended by leading insulation manufacturers.
  • Self-tapping action avoids batten bouncing and splitting of timbers.
  • Headless, flush fixing for minimal cold bridging and heat transfer.
  • Full technical data available: Independently tested by TRADA.
