The Value of Your Vapour Barrier

Warm roof vapour barriers prevent humid air from the building interior from permeating the roofing layers. This ensures that moisture doesn’t become trapped and lead to condensation and timber rot. Replacing an existing failed vapour barrier or installing a new one can help to improve the general protection of the integrity of your roof, reduce heat loss and minimise future problems.

Roof Moisture Control System Repairs

Controlling the moisture in your flat roofing system is vital for both domestic and commercial buildings across Kent. If moisture is allowed to get in and remain inside the roofing, timber decks and joists can quickly become affected, which can eventually lead to rot. Making sure you receive good advice and high quality installation is critical.

Whether you’re replacing your tired old vapour barrier with the latest moisture-reducing technology or adding a vapour barrier where there hasn’t been one before, give us a call and book your free roofing survey.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flat Roof Vapour Barriers

We have included some of the most commonly asked questions about vapour barriers. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have a question we haven’t covered below.

Where does the vapour barrier go?Permaroof2021-03-26T14:10:45+00:00

Where does the vapour barrier go?

A warm roof vapour barrier goes above the plyboard and below the insulation and can either be glued or screwed down. Because its function is so critical to the building structure only good quality materials should be used, and installation completed correctly.

Permaroof Kent use only high quality roofing and vapour barrier materials on all our flat roofing projects. In addition, we offer insurance-backed workmanship guarantees and long materials warranties for your peace of mind.

How much will vapour barrier replacement cost?Permaroof2021-03-26T14:10:14+00:00

How much will vapour barrier replacement cost?

Every roofing project has its own set of requirements and the costs will depend on several factors. These can include project scale and whether other elements, such as insulation, for example, are being installed at the same time.

At Permaroof Kent, we tailor your project to meet your exact needs and work closely with you to make sure this includes timescale and budget. Let us offer you a free, no-obligation survey and consultation and talk you through your options for your vapour barrier installation or replacement. We’ll detail all your costs in a comprehensive quote with no hidden extras.

What is the difference between a warm and a cold roof?Permaroof2021-03-26T14:09:42+00:00

What is the difference between a warm and a cold roof?

A warm roof has the vapour barrier and the roofing insulation installed above the roof deck and beneath the waterproofing. This keeps the air temperature stable and requires no further ventilation.
In a cold roofing installation, the insulating layers are beneath the roof deck and above the ceiling or roof void. This type of installation requires additional ventilation to maintain air temperature stability and reduce condensation.

Permaroof Kent is knowledgeable about all types of systems and experienced to help you gain the most from your flat roofing. Benefit from our expertise and book a free roofing survey today and we’ll talk you through your options.

What is a vapour barrier and why do I need one?Permaroof2021-03-26T14:08:58+00:00

What is a vapour barrier and why do I need one?

A vapour barrier prevents warm, humid air from inside the building being transferred into the roof layers above it. During the course of any normal day the roof space warms and cools, and these changes in temperature can cause the roof to expand and contract. Without the roof vapour barrier this could lead to moisture being trapped against the boards or joists and cause rot.

Permaroof Kent offers free roofing surveys and can check your existing vapour barrier to make sure it is in good condition or performing well. Give us a call to book your free survey in Kent and the surrounding areas.
