Flat Roof Insulation
Flat roof insulating materials are fitted on or within roofs to control the transmission of heat through roofing materials. This insulation works on both modern and traditional flat roofing systems. It can be installed during new builds or retrofitted to upgrade thermal performance.
What Is Roof Insulation Flat Roof?
These insulation products are meant for flat roofing systems only. Due to their low pitch and limited ventilation, flat roofs require insulation that carefully manages heat and moisture.
The insulating material can be added under, above, or between the roofing structure. These are known as cold, warm, or inverted flat roof systems. However, the most popular method in the UK covers warm flat roofs, where the insulation is fitted above the deck.
What Is Warm Flat Roof Insulation Used For?
Insulation for warm flat roofs primarily:
- Boosts the building’s energy performance.
- Maintains a warm roof deck.
- Protects the roof from temperature swings and condensation.
It can be used on many buildings with warm flat roofs, whether domestic, commercial, or refurbishment projects. It is commonly used in garages, extensions, garden rooms, offices, schools, and warehouses.

FAQ
What is flat roof insulation?
This is the layer of thermal material added to a flat or low-sloped roof to improve heat retention and promote efficient energy use. This system helps meet current UK Building Regulations for energy efficiency.
Insulating a flat roof can also help sustain comfortable indoor temperatures and minimise condensation within the roof structure.
How much insulation is required for a flat roof?
The amount of insulation material depends on your desired U-value and roof design. The recommended U-value for most UK applications is 0.18 W/m²K. This typically requires between 130mm and 180mm of PIR insulation, though the thickness varies based on the material.
Always confirm thickness with a qualified installer to ensure compliance with your specific roof design and U-value target.
How much does flat roof insulation cost?
Material, thickness, and total roof area affect flat roof insulation cost. Materials like PIR and phenolic panels are more costly per sheet, but they deliver higher thermal efficiency; therefore, you may need less material overall. Check our online store or contact our team for a personalised quote for the best deal.
How thick should flat roof insulation be?
Most flat roofs in the UK need 130mm–180mm of insulating material to meet current building standards. The exact thickness depends on your chosen material and roof structure. PIR require less thickness to achieve the same level of performance as EPS/XPS or mineral wool.
