Join us for an informative and interactive evening dedicated to mastering insulated roof build-ups. Tailored for waterproofing designers, specifiers, suppliers and installers, this technical session will explore two key approaches to flat roof waterproofing – Inverted Roof systems and Warm Roof systems. Gain practical insights from industry experts, see live demonstrations of each roof build-up, and discover best practices to ensure durable, compliant, and leak-free roof designs.
Key Topics & Activities
- Inverted Roof Systems (Paul Young): Learn how placing the waterproofing membrane beneath the insulation can protect your roof and improve performance. Paul will share the fundamentals of inverted roof design, its benefits, and considerations for achieving long-lasting results using this method.
- Warm Roof Systems (Daniel Caruana): Discover the alternative approach of installing insulation first with the waterproofing on top. Daniel will cover how warm roof build-ups keep insulation dry and efficient, along with installation tips and real-world insights from projects using this technique.
- Hands-On Demonstrations: Get up close with live demos of both an inverted roof assembly and a warm roof assembly. See the layers and materials in action – a great chance to physically examine how each system is put together and ask questions as you view the mock-ups.
- Real-World Discussion: Beyond theory, engage in an open discussion about how these systems perform on actual jobs. Hear case studies and compare the pros and cons of each approach in practice. Bring your questions and challenges for a Q&A session to tap into the expertise in the room.
- Networking & Industry Updates: Connect with fellow waterproofing professionals over refreshments. Share experiences, swap tips, and build your network in a friendly setting. Plus, get a sneak peek at upcoming industry developments – including an exclusive AIW update (new logo reveal and more) – to stay ahead of the curve.
