Recommendations for the installation of THERMOCHIP® sandwich panels on the roof

Hesandwich panelIt is one of the materials that best insulates our home. When carrying out rehabilitation withwood sandwich panelsTHERMOCHIP®We will have to follow a series of recommendations to obtain a waterproof and safe roof.

To begin we have to remove the old elements, leaving the supporting elements of the roof such as beams visible. TheTHERMOCHIP® wood sandwich panelsThey can be installed on wooden beams or metal straps.

This structure must have sufficient supports to ensure the correct state of the structure. Once its complete safety is verified and that it adapts to the perfect fit of the panels, we will proceed to the placement ofTHERMOCHIP®. The panels are fixed to the supporting structure in all its supports, using the type of fixings determined by the installer.

A STRUCTURE THAT COMPLETELY ISOLATES

TheTHERMOCHIP® sandwich panelsThanks to their tongue and groove structure, they are assembled by joining the four sides, eliminating the appearance of thermal bridges, facilitating their installation and guaranteeing thecontinuous insulation.It is recommended to install the panels staggered, that is, inparallel rows, so that those in each row correspond to the middle of the holes in the immediate row, forming equilateral triangles.

The joints between panels are sealed or awaterproofing sheetto avoid thermal bridges that cause heat and/or cooling leaks. When a cover is made withsandwich panels THERMOCHIP®It is also important to protect encounters such as valleys, hips, chimneys, roof windows, among others.

VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE THE INSTALLATION

HeCTE simulatordeveloped by the Technical Department of THERMOCHIP® is a very useful tool to validate the requirements of theTechnical Building Code (CTE)in the Basic Documents that affect the cover. As each of the options are selected, the results will be obtained for each Basic Document according to CTE.

Results vary depending on theroof type and inclinationthat we have, of theclimatic zonein which we find ourselves,usewhat we are going to give to the home and thematerialthat we use for the roof finish. It is important to take this into account when carrying out rehabilitation withTHERMOCHIP®.
