The best solution for the thermal insulation of roofs
![]() |
Thermal insulation (polyurethane)Isotec has an inner core in closed-cell rigid polyurethane foam with a density of 38 kg/m3; this material is currently one of the best thermal insulators available. The thicknesses of the Isotec panels available, depending on the thermal performances of the cover, allow meeting the minimum requirements for any climate zone. The insulation and ventilation roof system plays an active role in energy efficiency, reducing heat loss in winter and cooling costs in summer. |

Thermal ResistanceThermal resistance (Rt) takes into account the actual thicknesses of the panels and provides a clear value of the resistance of the insulation to heat exchange. Due to the low conductivity of polyurethane, Isotec provides the highest thermal resistance values available in the market and the lowest cost per unit of thermal resistance. |

Elimination of thermal bridgesThe system allows creating an insulating jacket that provides continuous and homogeneous insulation of the building envelope, eliminating thermal bridges and reducing temperature fluctuations. |

VentilationThe ventilation induced inside the air chamber located between the outer cover and the insulating panel greatly improves the building’s natural heat regulating properties. The “chimney effect” generates a continuous flow of rising air inside the ventilation chamber that improves the roof's thermal performance in summer by removing excess heat and allows disposing of any condensation that forms inside the air chamber in the winter months. |

Protection against moisture, humidity and accidental infiltrationThe ventilation reduces the risk of condensation inside the roof package. If laid according to our “Installation Instructions” and on structures with a pitch > 30° (or according to the minimum pitch guaranteed by the roof covering), Isotec acts as an excellent second-stage waterproofing lining against accidental infiltrations if the roof covering should break. |

New buildings and renovationsIsotec can be used in both new buildings and to update and renew existing ones, improving the energy efficiency of the building. |
![]() |
Maximum compatibilityIsotec can be applied to any kind of structure, whether continuous or discontinuous, and is compatible with most roof covering materials. |

Fast and cost-effective installationIsotec panels realize a load-bearing deck that can be easily walked on the metal stiffeners. The modularity of the Isotec panels allows a faster and safer installation compared to the traditional panels. |
![]() |
Living comfortIsotec is the ideal solution to improve living comfort throughout the year. In fact, the Isotec system allows achieving a constant temperature in both summer and winter. |
![]() |
DurabilityIsotec offers outstanding durability thanks to its polyurethane core covered in aluminium on both surfaces. |
![]() |
Energy savingThe characteristics of the modular panel (thermo-insulation plus ventilation) offer effective thermal insulation of the roof, which allows achieving a considerable saving on heating costs in winter and on cooling costs in summer. |
