AssumptionsThe U−values in the tables that follow havebeen calculated, under a managementsystem certified to the BBA Scheme forAssessing the Competency of Persons toUndertake U–value and Condensation Risk Calculations, usingthe method detailed in BS EN ISO 6946: 2007 (Buildingcomponents and building elements. Thermal resistance andthermal transmittance. Calculation method) and using theconventions set out in BR443 (Conventions for U–valuecalculations). They are valid for the constructions shown in thedetails immediately above each table.

These examples are based on Kingspan Kooltherm® K11Roofboard waterproofed using a fully bonded, torch appliedwaterproofing membrane, with the surface covered withmineral chippings. The insulation board is fully bondedto a sealed metal deck, or a vapour control layer, which hasitself been fully bonded to the type of deck stated for eachapplication. The ceiling, where applicable, is taken to be a 3mm skim coated 12.5 mm plasterboard with a cavity betweenit and the underside of the deck.

Product thicknesses† for Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboardare only available up to 90 mm. To achieve better U−valuesthan 90 mm Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard canprovide, a packer board is used. The packer board is taken tobe Kingspan Thermaroof® TR27 LPC/FM. Please refer to therelevant Kingspan Insulation literature for details of this product.

† Product thickness = insulant thickness + 20 mm perlite.

NB When calculating U–values to BS EN ISO 6946: 2007, the type of mechanical fixing usedmay change the thickness of insulation required. These calculations assume telescopic tubefasteners with a thermal conductivity of 1.00 W/m.K or less, the effect of which is insignificant.

NB For the purposes of these calculations the standard of workmanship has been assumedgood and therefore the correction factor for air gaps has been ignored.

NB The figures quoted are for guidance only. A detailed U–value calculation together withcondensation risk analysis should be completed for each individual project.

NB If your construction is different from those specified and / or to gain a comprehensiveU−value calculation along with a condensation risk analysis for your project please consult theKingspan Insulation Technical Service Department for assistance (see rear cover).

U–value Table KeyWhere an � is shown, the U–value is higher than theworst of the maximum new build area weighted averageU−values allowed by the 2010 Editions of ApprovedDocuments L to the Building Regulations (England &Wales) and the 2010 Editions of Technical HandbooksSection 6 (Scotland).

NBS SpecificationsDetails also available in NBS Plus.NBS users should refer to clause(s):J41 420, J41 430 (Standard and Intermediate)J41 10 (Minor Works)

Wind LoadingWind loadings should be assessed in accordance withBS 6399–2: 1997 (Loading for buildings. Code of practice forwind loads) or BS EN 1991–1–4: 2005 (National Annex toEurocode 1 Actions on Structures. General Actions. WindActions) taking into account:

� length / width / height of the building;

� orientation of the building;

� wind speed;

� aspect (e.g. on a hill side); and

� topographical value of the surrounding area.

FallsThe fall on a flat roof, constructed using Kingspan Kooltherm®

K11 Roofboard, is normally provided by the supportingstructure being directed towards the rainwater outlets. The fallshould be smooth and steep enough to prevent the formationof rainwater pools. In order to ensure adequate drainage,BS 6229: 2003 (Flat roofs with continuously supportedcoverings. Code of practice) recommends uniform gradientsof not less than 1 in 80. However, because of buildingsettlement, it is advisable to design in even greater falls.These can be provided by a Kingspan Thermataper® LPC/FMtapered roofing system. Further details of the KingspanThermataper® LPC/FM range and its supporting designservice are available from the Kingspan Insulation TaperedRoofing Department (see rear cover).

Linear Thermal BridgingReasonable provision must be made to limit the effects of coldbridging. The design should ensure that roof–light or ventilatorkerbs etc. are always insulated with the same thickness ofKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard as the general roofarea. A 25 mm thick Kingspan Thermaroof® TR27 LPC/FMupstand should be used around the perimeter of the roof onthe internal façade of parapets. A minimum distance of300 mm should be maintained between the top of theinsulation upstand and the bottom of the horizontal roofinsulation. Wall insulation should also be carried up intoparapets as high as the flat roof insulation upstand. Pleasecontact the Kingspan Insulation Technical Service Department(see rear cover) for further advice.

Design Considerations

Roof WaterproofingKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard is designed for use with2 layer fully bonded torch applied felts. Fully bonded built–upfelt waterproofing should be laid, where applicable, inaccordance with BS 8217: 2005 (Reinforced bitumenmembranes for roofing. Code of practice).

NB Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard is unsuitable for use with partially bonded torchapplied waterproofing systems.

Water Vapour ControlKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard should be installed overa separate vapour control layer, in new build roofs, unless it isbeing used in conjunction with a sealed metal deck.Regardless of the deck type it is recommended that acondensation risk analysis is carried out for every project.

For refurbishment projects, involving the addition of insulationto existing insulated flat roofs, it is imperative that a U–valuecalculation and condensation risk analysis is carried out forevery project, in order to ensure that the correct thickness ofinsulation is installed to achieve the required thermalperformance, whilst avoiding interstitial condensation.

In refurbishment projects, where Kingspan Kooltherm® K11Roofboard is to be installed over an existing bituminouswaterproofing membrane, the membrane can be used as avapour control layer, as long as it is in a good water tightcondition. Where this is not the case, a separate vapourcontrol layer should be installed.

A minimum vapour control layer should consist of a coatedroofing felt complying with Type 3B to BS 747: 2000(Reinforced bitumen sheets for roofing. Specification) or S1P1to BS 8747: 2007 (Reinforced bitumen membranes (RBMs) forroofing. Guide to selection and specification), or anyappropriate metal–cored vapour control layer.

Where the separate vapour control layer is to be bonded,allowance should be made for adequate bonding of the vapourcontrol layer to the substrate, so as to provide a suitablesurface upon which to lay the insulation boards and sufficientresistance to wind up–lift (see ‘Wind Loading’).

Roof Loading / TrafficKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard is suitable for use onaccess roof decks subject to limited foot traffic.

Where inappropriate foot traffic is liable to occur, it isrecommended that the roof surface is protected bypromenade tiles.

For further advice on the acceptability of specific foot trafficregimes, please contact the Kingspan Insulation TechnicalService Department (see rear cover).

Installing over Metal Decks� Metal decks should be clean, dry, without large

projections, steps or gaps, and should be graded to allowcorrect falls to all rainwater outlets.

� If using a sealed metal deck there is no requirement for aseparate vapour control layer.

� If the metal deck is not sealed, in order to ensure anadequate bond between it and the vapour control layer,the metal deck should be suitably primed, in accordancewith the primer manufacturer’s instructions, prior to theapplication of the hot bitumen, or suitable alternativeproprietary adhesive system, used to bond the vapourcontrol layer to the deck.

� Where one run of the specified vapour control layer lapsanother, there should be minimum 150 mm side and endoverlaps, which should be adequately sealed.

� Turn up the vapour control layer at the edge of the roofto a height appropriate to the specified waterproofingmembrane.

� Sheets of Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard should bebonded down by laying into hot bitumen (max.temperature 240°C) mopped or poured over the vapourcontrol layer / sealed metal deck, or with the use of asuitable alternative proprietary adhesive system.

� Insulation sheets should always be laid break–bonded,either with their long edges at right angles to the troughopenings, or diagonally across the corrugation line, andwith joints lightly butted. There should be no gaps atabutments.

� Roof–light or ventilator kerbs etc. should always insulatedwith the same thickness of Kingspan Kooltherm® K11Roofboard as the general roof area.

� A 25 mm thick Kingspan Thermaroof® TR27 LPC/FMupstand should be used around the perimeter of the roofon the internal façade of parapets.

� A minimum distance of 300 mm should be maintainedbetween the top of the insulation upstand and the bottomof the horizontal roof insulation.

� The waterproofing membrane is installed in accordancewith the membrane manufacturer’s instructions, over thewhole insulated area including any insulation upstands, assoon as possible after laying the insulation sheets.

Installing over Concrete Decks� Concrete decks should be clean, dry, without large


� In order to ensure an adequate bond between the vapourcontrol layer and the concrete deck, the concrete orscreeded surface should be suitably primed, inaccordance with the primer manufacturer’s instructions,prior to the application of the hot bitumen, or suitablealternative proprietary adhesive system, used to bond thevapour control layer to the deck.


� Turn up the vapour control layer at the edge of the roofinsulation, lap with the roof waterproofing and seal.

� Sheets of Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard shouldbe bonded down by laying into hot bitumen (max.temperature 240°C) mopped or poured over the vapourcontrol layer, or with the use of a suitable alternativeproprietary adhesive system.

� Insulation sheets should always be laid break–bonded,either with their long edges at right angles to the edge of,or diagonally across the roof, and with joints lightly butted.There should be no gaps at abutments.

Installing over Plywood Decks� Plywood decks should be clean, dry, without large


� If the vapour control layer is to be bonded, in order toensure an adequate bond between it and the plywooddeck, the plywood surface should be suitably primed, inaccordance with the primer manufacturer’s instructions,prior to the application of the hot bitumen, or suitablealternative proprietary adhesive system, used to bond thevapour control layer to the deck.

� If the vapour control layer is to be nailed to the deck the nailheads will become sealed with the subsequent bonding ofthe insulation boards to the vapour control layer.


� Turn up the vapour control layer at the edge of the roofto a height appropriate to the specified waterproofingmembrane.



� Joints between insulation boards should not coincide withthose between the plywood sheets.





Installing over Existing Flat Roofs� The existing waterproofing membrane surface should be

clean, dry, without large projections, steps or gaps, andshould be graded to allow correct falls to all rainwateroutlets.

� Where the existing waterproofing membrane is not fit forpurpose as a vapour control layer, a separate vapourcontrol layer should be bonded to it with hot bitumen, orsuitable alternative proprietary adhesive system.


� Turn up the vapour control layer at the edge of the roof toa height appropriate to the specified new waterproofingmembrane.






� The waterproofing membrane is installed in accordancewith the membrane manufacturer’s instructions, over thewhole insulated area including any insulation upstands, assoon as possible after laying the insulation sheets

7

Installing in Two Layers� In situations where two layers of insulation are required, the

packer board and Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboardshould be installed in the same manner, as detailed in thepreceding sections.

� In all cases, the layers should be horizontally offset relativeto each other so that, as far as possible, the board jointsin the two adjacent layers do not coincide with each other(see Figure 4).

Figure 4 Offsetting of Multiple Insulation Layers

First insulation layer

Second insulation layer, if required,offset relative to first.

GeneralFollowing Trades� The roof must be adequately protected when building

works are being carried out on or over the roof surface.This is best achieved by close boarding. The completedroof must not be used for storage of heavy buildingcomponents such as bricks or air conditioning equipment.

Reflective Coatings� Bitumen based built–up waterproofing systems laid over

Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard should alwaysincorporate a solar reflective layer such as chippings or aspecialist coating.

Daily Working Practice� At the completion of each day’s work, or whenever work

is interrupted for extended periods of time, a night jointmust be made in order to prevent water penetration intothe roof construction.

Cutting� Cutting should be carried out by using a fine toothed saw.

Do not attempt to snap the product sheets.

� Ensure accurate trimming to achieve close butting jointsand continuity of insulation.
