Neopor® GPS roofing board insulation provide superior performance, reducing building energy use, urban heat island and smog. A high R-value per inch and adaptable thickness application, combined with superior air permeance ratings, allow Neopor GPS roofs to pay for themselves through energy savings.
See below for more information on how Neopor can enhance each of the following applications.
Attic
Regardless of building code requirements, it is recommendable for all owners to check the thermal insulation in the attic, which may help to significantly save costs.
In many homes, the ceiling of the top floor is poorly insulated or not insulated at all. The attic can be optimally insulated using insulation boards made of Neopor®.
Advantages
- Optimal insulation
- High energy cost-savings
- Recommenable for old buildings
Pitch Roof (Unvented/Vented)
From a structural-physical point of view, above-rafter insulation is an optimal construction, since the insulating layer is installed virtually without gaps above the roof construction. In doing so, the visible rafters are integrated as a decorative element in the interior design of the rooms.
In order to optimally fulfill the thermal insulation requirements, insulation materials made of Neopor® are installed efficiently in form of panels or roof elements for above-rafter insulation. Professionally renovated areas under steep roofs offer valuable living space. The sufficiently dimensioned insulation layer made of Neopor is of special importance in this regard. In the summer, living spaces under the roof should not heat up unbearably, and in the winter, the thermal insulation must restrict the loss of expensive heating energy.
Advantages
- Complete insulation layer
- Water-repellent and open to diffusion
- Easy handling
Structural Insulated Panel / SIP
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a high performance building system for residential and light commercial construction. The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB).
SIPs are manufactured under factory controlled conditions and can be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective. Building with SIPs will save you time, money and labor.
Advantages
- Labor savings resulting from shorter construction time
- Less jobsite waste
- Energy savings due to smaller heating/ cooling systems required
