Innovative insulation manufacturer, Jablite has developed a new insulation that can be bespoke-designed to create drainage falls on flat roofs.
Jablite Invincible combines the benefits of a highly performing thermal insulation material - EPS (expanded polystyrene) - with a tough facing which protects the insulation and is highly resistant to damage.
“Our customers were telling us they want to use our A+ rated EPS roof insulation. But, because it can be damaged by solvents it does not offer the flexibility they need on site,” says Richard Lee, Managing Director of Jablite.
“We developed Jablite Invincible to meet that need; it has a tough facing and can be used with solvent and PU adhesives. Invincible also works well with mechanically fixed single ply and cold applied bituminous systems – I hope we have created an insulation that gives contractors and specifiers the flexibility they require,” says Richard.
Jablite Invincible provides a layer of protection between the thermal insulation – the EPS – and the waterproof membrane, adding stability to the membrane ensuring maximum performance and extending its lifetime.
As well as being unaffected by solvents, Jablite Invincible has excellent impact resistance; dropped tools bounce off it without causing any damage.
Jablite Invincible offers a thermal conductivity performance of 0.036 or 0.035 depending on the material grade specified; this enables any required u-value to be achieved.
Jablite’s technical experts give advice on the thickness needed to meet the thermal performance specification and design the fall. Then Jablite Invincible is supplied in a single – easy to install – layer to site.
