Low-Temperature Roofs

Energy Savings Hit the Roof

To keep a lid on energy costs, it’s essential to protect low-slope, low-temperature roof systems – such as those found on cold-storage warehouses – from moisture absorption that can compromise insulating effectiveness. The closed-cell structure of STYROFOAM™ Brand Extruded Polystyrene Insulation products ensures high resistance to water vapor penetration, resulting in long-term R-value (RSI) retention.

But there’s more to save. Less time, less labor and fewer materials can also make a big difference in the bottom line. Eliminate the need for expensive and labor-intensive thermal barriers with STYROFOAM™ Brand DECKMATE™ products designed for direct-to-deck installation on metal roofs.
