Commercial Roof Insulation Spacers: PurlinK® by Foamex

extruded polystyrene roof insulation spacers

The use of roof insulation spacers is an effective way to prevent thermal bridging, also known as heat bridge or cold bridge. Thermal bridging accounts for up to 30% of heat loss. It occurs when there is a break or penetration within the building thermal envelope.

Thermal bridging usually occurs at:

Junctions between wall and roof
Junctions between floor and wall
Holes for pipes and cables
Door and window reveal

PurlinK® roof insulation spacers from Foamex is designed specifically to help with the reduction of thermal loss on commercial metal deck roof applications. PurlinK® provides a thermal break which enables insulation to recover to its nominal thickness for a maximised thermal efficiency and increased R-values.
