An inverted roof system is a variation on the warm roof. With an inverted warm roof construction put ballast usually graded pebbles or concrete paving slabs on top of the insulation in order to keep the insulation down in the event of wind. Installed in any weather added to without stripping the waterproof layer easily lifted and replaced re used if the building is altered the insulation for an inverted roof must.

The insulation can be. These shield the insulation from the effects of uv light and wind uplift. The standard design consideration is that the rain falling on the roof filters through the ballast and between the insulation boards until it reaches. Inverted warm roof variation.

The inverted roof concept has other benefits. An inverted roof is quite simply where the waterproofing layer is installed over the structural deck rather than over the insulation. Simply defined as a type of roof construction where the waterproofing layer lies beneath the insulation instead of above it as in other forms of roofing inverted roofs ensure that the complete roof construction including roof covering is kept at warm temperatures during winter months and at moderate temperates during the summer months.
