In the field of building energy efficiency, roof insulation can improve energy utilization efficiency and reduce energy consumption. There are many types of roof insulation materials, of which rubber and plastic insulation materials are one. Below, Utsen insulation materials manufacturers to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of roof insulation using rubber and plastic insulation materials.

First, the advantages of using rubber and plastic insulation materials for roof insulation

1, excellent insulation performance

Rubber and plastic insulation materials have a low thermal conductivity of 0.032~0.040W/(m·K), which can effectively isolate the indoor and outdoor temperature differences and provide good insulation effect.

2. Construction price

Compared with other types of roofing, the installation cost of rubber and plastic insulation is lower. Because the product is much lighter than other roof insulation materials, and the material is soft, showing a roll shape. Therefore, the labor cost of installation is greatly reduced.

3, long service life

Rubber and plastic insulation materials have the characteristics of durability and long service life, can withstand the impact of the external environment, not easy to age and damage, reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement. In addition, rubber and plastic insulation materials can be based on the actual shape and layout of the roof, almost no seams. Joints are where water usually seeps into a house, causing damage to the internal and structural integrity.

4. Waterproof and moisture-proof

Rubber and plastic insulation material has good waterproof and moisture-proof properties, which can protect the roof from rain penetration. This is very important for the structural stability of the building and the comfort of the living environment.

Second, the roof insulation using rubber insulation materials shortcomings

1, poor high temperature resistance

The use of rubber insulation material temperature range of -50~105℃, does not have high temperature resistance, although its combustion performance can reach B1 level, with a certain flame retardant effect, but in the event of fire, it is easy to be burned.

2, the price is higher

The price of rubber and plastic insulation materials is relatively more expensive than traditional insulation materials.

3, sound insulation effect is general

Relative to its insulation effect, the sound insulation effect of rubber and plastic insulation materials is general, and can not effectively isolate the sound inside and outside the building.

The use of rubber and plastic insulation materials for roof insulation has obvious advantages, including excellent thermal insulation performance, light and soft, strong durability, simple construction and waterproof and moisture-proof, but at the same time there are certain shortcomings. Therefore, when choosing roofing insulation materials, it is necessary to consider the specific needs of the project to decide whether to choose rubber and plastic insulation materials.
