The Upside-Down-Roof Concept

The upside-down-roof concept, is as simple to use as it is effective. As you see in the following pictures, The efficiency of the upside-down-roof concept has been proved in extensive tests, and practical application over long year in Europe, Canada, U.S.A. and Middle East.

thickness DRAINAGE

With the normal gravel-topped specification, water percolates down through the gravel, over and between the insulation boards, until it reaches the waterproofing membrane where it then drains off to the roof outlets. On terrace decks, water will drain from the top surface of the terrace and PolyFoam and from the roof membrane. The draining outlet should, therefore, have a connection at the membrane level, and at the top terrace and at the top terrace and PolyFoam top surface levels. The roof slab should be sloped towards the drainage outlet. Waterproofing membrace should be properly installed around the drainage opening so that water drains off from the waterproofing membrane to the roof outlet.

Interior Wall Insulation

Interior thermal insulation is of advantage for the following:

• Building with special exterior finishes.

• Buildings with intermittent air conditioning.

• Insulation of existing buildings.

For the intemallining PolyFoam can be used either with the help of adhesives or by mechanical fasteners. Intemallining can be covered either by gypsum plaster board or by wire mesh fixed with fastener and normal plaster.

Cavity wall insulation is of advantage where an exterior brick finish is required, and for both periodically and permanently air - conditioned buildings

• Interior plaster.

• Structural wall (usually brick) The wall should be smooth and clean.

• Polyfoam boards are installed with long edge horizontal and fixed to the inner wall either mechanically, with the aid of wall ties or bonded along the board joints with a suitable adhesive.

• The outer brick wall and inner wall are connected with wall ties local building practices should be observed for wall tie specifications.

Polyfoam extruded polystyrene panels contains a flame retardant material, it is classified as B2 building material when tested in accordance with DIN 4102.

3 ~ompressive Strength:

The compressive strength of thermal insulation materials is determined by short term standard test methods. The date given in the table refer to a deflection of 10% or yield value within 10% deflection. For structural applications involving continuous high compressive load, non uniform loads of high temperature, while designing, an adequate safety factor in design stress levels should be provided, to minimize deformations with time. These values are reduced a~ higher temperatures but the mechanical properties are not affected adversely at lower temperatures down tcHm- C (-40·F).

4. Fire Belhavior :

5. Resistance to water & vapor penetration:

Polyfoam absorbs negligible amounts of water because of its structure which consist of small size closed cells & outer foam skin of denser material on both sides. Therefore polyfoam will remain dry in the high relative humidity & high ambient temperatures of the middle east.

I : 7. Cutting / Fixing:

PolyFoam can be easily cut with wood working tools & can also be cut by mot wire and can be bonded with suitable her bitumen and with special adhesive suitable for polystyrene foams.

6. Chemical resistance:

PolyFoam is stable & has good resistance to acids, basis, cold bitumen, silicon oil, But is unstable to tars, organic solvents, hydrocarbon, gasoline and oil based paints.

8. Stor:eage & Hafildlling :

Polyf'oan; should be stored in a clean flat & kept away from open flames & other sources of ignition.

When longer outdoor storage is forced, boards must be protected from ultra violet light by covering with brightly colored plastic sheets properly anchored down against wind effect.
