cold roof

Hello, We’re figuring out the design for our crown roof - something like the attached image, where we have a flat part on the top (with appropriate fall to stop water pooling), and then it would be pitched on three sides. Would this kind of roof be better as a cold roof or warm roof? I...

Hi, I have a single-skin brick extension with a concrete flat roof from the 50s/60s that I’m getting re-covered. The concrete roof overhangs the exterior by 100-150mm. I’m trying to decide whether to go warm or cold roof. I originally thought warm but now I’m concerned about potential...

Hi, I’m having difficulty finding an answer to what seems a simple question. What is a typical depth for a warm vs cold roof in a rear extension? i.e the measurement from the underside of the ceiling to the top of the roof. Thank you!

Hi I’m hoping to improve the loft insulation of a cold roof of a large wood clad, timber frame bungalow that is currently poorly insulated and struggles with heat retention. It is currently largely single glazed (I’m working on secondary glazing with Magnetglaze Extreme Pro and 4-6mm Perspex)...

One of the many little gems I've come across when renovating my house is that my flat roof is a cold roof - the insulation sits directly upon the plasterboard with a gap above between the insulation and actual roof. I'm contemplating converting this to a warm roof as I may as well do it now...

Not sure where to post this query, but hope someone can help. I've mostly built a garden studio, insulated, cladded and now onto the internal finish with the vcl, but am unsure how to approach the electrical sockets, window frames and doors. How do you get around sockets, frames, fixings for...
