What is it used for?
Insulation is part of the structural structure. Material choice influences, among other things, thickness, weight and the detailing of connections.
What needs to be coordinated?
During a roof construction or renovation, the architectural designer and structural engineer work together. Insulation, air and vapor barriers and water-retaining connections must be designed as a whole.
- Construction and thicknesses
- Weight of the complete superstructure
- Connections to steel and concrete
- Moisture control
- Product-related fire data
From material selection to material list
A complete list lists the parts, specifications, quantities and associated drawing revision. Let this information match the established design and elaboration of the supplier.
Check before ordering
Check whether material, dimensions, quantities and connections in the supplier's quotation correspond to the design documents.
Who provides what information?
- The designer determines the building assembly.
