In Australia, green roofs are growing in popularity due to their key benefits – helping to reduce the reliance on summer cooling demands, reducing energy consumption and carbon pollution, and contributing to insulating and shading buildings. The combination of the substrate, plants and the embedded air in a green roof system also provides excellent sound insulation, leading to a more peaceful office environment, especially in urban areas.

StyroRoof, made from Styroboard XPS extruded polystyrene, is a closed cell sheeting that delivers high R-values and excellent compressive strength. Even when faced with extreme weather conditions, StyroRoof still preserves its thermal and physical properties thanks to its high density cell structure and low moisture absorption. Placed below the soil but above the concrete on a roof, StyroRoof can assist with creating a thermal barrier and improving energy performance of the overall building. 

Unlike inferior, imported products, StyroRoof is an Australian made product, manufactured at our state-of-the-art production facility. A true green building product, StyroRoof is environmentally friendly, refrigerant free, and produces no ozone depleting substances. StyroRoof also complies with Australian Standard 1366 – Part 4, and meets the Building Code of Australia in relation to energy efficiency requirements.

If you’re looking to increase the sustainability of your commercial building design, incorporating a green roof will assist in creating not only a healthier building environment, but a more sustainable building that will pay itself off in savings from lower energy bills in the future.

FAQs

What is the best insulation for under slab?

XPS foam makes excellent under slab insulation due to its high compressive strength, moisture resistance, and durability. It also has excellent thermal resistance, keeping its R-value stable throughout its life. Like other forms of home insulation, it helps reduce heat loss during colder months and prevents heat gain during warmer months.

How do you insulate the edge of a concrete slab?

Concrete slab edge insulation is widely used to prevent thermal bridges and is popular with the trend towards passive house design. To install it, you firstly clean the exposed slab edge and apply damp-proofing material. Then, install rigid non-moisture-sensitive insulation like extruded polystyrene sheets along the edge of the slab for a foundation that will meet or exceed the insulation R-value required by the relevant building code.

What is the best insulation for thermal bridges?

Thermal bridges are weak points in the building envelope that allow heat to pass through, so to eliminate them, you need to install continuous insulation around your home's exterior. One approach is to use insulation materials with low thermal conductivity, such as rigid foam insulation, to create a continuous thermal barrier between the wall and floor.
