There are two ways common ways of installing insulation to a flat roof, warm deck insulation and cold roof insulation. The warm roof is the best way to insulate your flat roof as there are no condensation issues to contend with. The way warm roofing works is the insulating materials are placed on top of waterproof roof membrane. Doing this protects the layers underneath from extreme weather conditions. Once the layer of insulation is added, a layer of asphalt is laid on top to complete the job.
