With a walkable flat roof, additional outdoor space is gained to be used as a rooftop garden, a terrace or a sports court.
Especially in densely populated urban areas, buildings with an additional rooftop surface are fast becoming more and more attractive and valuable. Through experience, the key factor in designing and building flat roofs is the protection of the waterproofing layer, as some types of final layers are more likely to allow waterproofing damage than others. Fortunately, the choice of final rooftop layering is unlimited in inverted flat roofs, where the waterproofing is protected with a thick layer of thermal insulation and any final walkable layer can be easily substituted with another, thus offering endless possibilities for different rooftop utilization.
If heavy rooftop loads are expected, thermal insulation material with 500 or even 700 kPa compressive strength should be used, and the construction load bearing capacity checked by experts.
Walkable flat roof with OPTIMO system
OPTIMO roofs are optimally layered flat roofs where the desired slope is achieved with FIBRANxps inclination thermal insulation boards instead of the heavy inclination concrete.
In designing flat roofs – mostly in roofs, terraces and balconies renovation – we are often faced with two key challenges: with the structure’s excessive load and the insufficient height which limits our choice of energy efficiency measures. Both challenges are usually connected with the inclination layer, as traditionally, the desired slopes were executed with the heavy inclination concrete.
To reduce the flat roof’s load, the OPTIMO flat roof system substitutes the heavy and thick inclination concrete with FIBRANxps INCLINE – lighter and leaner inclination thermal insulation boards which, additionally, improve the assembly’s thermal resistance.
The OPTIMO system:
