There are three types of insulation solution if you have a flat roof: 1  Warm deck or warm roof refers to a situation where the 'deck' of the roof, which is usually made of wood, is below the insulation. 2  Cold deck or cold roof is where the insulation is below the roof deck (and the associated joists).
A water reed thatched roof, 12 inches thick at a pitch angle of 45 degrees meets the most modern insulation standards. The scientific term for insulating properties is thermal conductance, known as the U value.The U-value of a properly thatched roof is 0.35, which is equivalent to 4 inches of fibreglass insulation between the joists. Only in the last decade have building codes begun to demand this level of roof insulation.he scientific term for insulating properties is thermal conductance, known as the U value.
