Durable, organically inert and delivering a high compressive strength, StyroRoof is ideal for inverted roofs subjected to engineered loads or constant foot traffic.
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.
