ShareInfluence of the skin and insulation thickness on the moisture behaviour of extruded polystyrene foam slabs.
Author(s) : KUNZEL H. M.
Type of article: Article
Summary
States that the insulation layer in inverted roofs is exposed to high moisture loads, especially when the roof is planted over (green roof) or has a relatively vapour-tight top. The only insulation material approved for this type of roof is extruded polystyrene foam. The skin reduces the influx of moisture into the slab, but also hinders its escape. A greater insulation thickness results in a lower moisture uptake of the slabs.
