The Rigid Insulation Installation Process

Rigid Insulation can either be installed over the structural deck or directly over the existing roof system. Rigid insulation is used to provide a substrate between the membrane and structural decking. It is also used to increase the energy efficiency, or “R-value” of your roof system. For information on flat roofing insulation, check out our Rigid Insulation page.

For most flat roofing applications, the rigid insulation is fastened down to the structural deck using fasteners. This is known as a mechanically fastened installation and can be used for mechanically attached membrane systems or fully adhered membrane systems.

If the structural deck is not strong enough to fasten into or if fastening into the deck will be highly disruptive to the building’s operations (concrete decking, for example), the rigid insulation can also be adhered to the deck. This uses a two-part foam adhesive known as insta-stick or OlyBond, depending on the manufacturer you are using. Typically, adhering the insulation to the structural deck is used in conjunction with fully adhered membrane systems.

Chaffee Roofing is the best!! They came today to do some repair work on my leaking commercial roof. The company's customer service, from the first phone call to request service to a follow-up email and the techs that came to do the work, are all professionals. Pictures were taken of each step in the process and sent to me when the job was completed. Pricing is very fair, too. I would give this company my very highest rating. Thanks for continuing to do a great job. I'm as always, a very happy customer!
