Advantages of the Grade Roofers & Flooring AS technology

Easy-to-calculate savings

We provide high expense and financial saving opportunities connected with the thermal insulation layer thanks to:

the optimization of thermal insulation and roof drainage design respecting the guidelines of the architectural and construction design, as well as
“module arrangement” methodology during the installation of thermal insulation panels and rolled waterproofing panels – directly on the roof.

Depending on roof design and the level of its complexity YOU WILL SAVE:

even several times – on the efficiency and speed of roofing works

thanks to precise prefabricated performance and the marking of panels according to the “module arrangement” methodology;

up to 80% on the costs of hiring roofers

in Scandinavian countries, our roofs are usually assembled by two apt roofers irrespective of roof size thanks to:

easy application of thermal insulation panels according to the simple “module arrangement” design – it is not necessary to form pitches on the roof – you simply arrange thermal insulation “modules” and there is no place where you could make a mistake;
simple and quick application of the fixing/welding of roof felts or synthetic membranes as our pitches head straight towards roof drains and are unnoticeable while unfolding rolled waterproofing;

up to even 30% – on the number of thermal insulation panels applied

thanks to precise design and performance of circulate pitches of panels directed precisely towards the drain;

up to even 50% – on the number of applied rolled waterproofing materials (roof felt, PVC, TPO etc.)

thanks to quick and easy arrangement on the roof with absolutely minimum cutting and matching – unfolding the rolls without bends or cuts;

up to even 25% – on the quantity of thermal insulation material waste

thanks to the design, precision and carefully planned arrangement of circulate thermal insulation panels on the roof during application;

thanks to shortened water circulation on the roof and drainage in the shape of a funnel/inverted cone to roof drain and absolute reduction of the risk of stagnating water on the roof during all seasons.

even several times – on the efficiency and speed of roofing works

thanks to precise prefabricated performance and the marking of panels according to the “puzzle arrangement” methodology;

up to 30% on the costs of hiring roofers

in Scandinavian countries, our roofs are usually assembled by two apt roofers irrespective of roof size thanks to:

easy application of thermal insulation panels according to the simple “puzzle arrangement” design – it is not necessary to form pitches on the roof – you simply arrange thermal insulation “puzzles” and there is no place where you could make a mistake;
simple and quick application of the fixing/welding of roof felts or synthetic membranes as our pitches head straight towards roof drains and are unnoticeable while unfolding rolled waterproofing;

up to even 30% – on the number of thermal insulation panels applied

thanks to precise design and performance of circulate pitches of panels directed precisely towards the drain;

up to even 30% – on the number of applied rolled waterproofing materials (roof felt, PVC, TPO etc.)

thanks to quick and easy arrangement on the roof with absolutely minimum cutting and matching – unfolding the rolls without bends or cuts;

up to even 25% – on the quantity of thermal insulation material waste

thanks to the design, precision and carefully planned arrangement of circulate thermal insulation panels on the roof during application;

longer exploitation of the roof without previous intervention and exploitation risk of damaging waterproofing cover

Comparison of CIRCULATE PITCHES vs. traditional ones: the roof of 51,84 m²

One of large Scandinavian companies manufacturing thermal insulation roof panels conducted an interesting independent comparative experiment of the same “roof” in 3 different technologies of pitch panels commonly applied on the Scandinavian market.

Grade Roofers & Flooring AS team was invited to take part in the experiment as one of completely neutral observers. Grade Roofers & Flooring AS team did not take an active part in the project. The recording and summary under the form of a chart presenting the comparison of experiment results was prepared by an objective Organizer’s Team.

The experiment consisted in comparing for exactly the same roof the installation of 3 different technologies for the application of thermal insulation pitch panels and rolled roof felt waterproofing performed by the same professional roofers/experts possessing extensive experience and familiar with the technology thanks to their everyday work on Scandinavian roofs.

TRADITIONAL 4-WAY roof

The traditional 2-way fall represents a more intricate approach to constructing the drainage system. This method not only demands additional time but also entails a more intricate layout for the bitumen/membrane.
