Thanks to its special clamped and pressed nut-and-groove joints, steep roof insulation results in a homogenous wind-tight diffusion membrane without thermal bridges right after installation. In connection with a nail sealing tape that is part of the LINITHERM system, this membrane can act as a temporary roof covering. The entire roof construction is fully in the warm area; the L+D foil that is also part of the system is installed underneath the boards and acts as the airtight layer.

Revitalising historic buildings often falls through due to conservation status, in particular if you want to raise old structures to the level of modern energy standards. The prerequisite was a streamlined highly efficient insulation layer—one of the reasons why architect Delfs chose LINITHERM PAL N+F. Benefits: on the hip roof of the metalworking shop also because, after cutting it precisely, rest material could be turned and fitted on the other side of the hip.

A historic building, originally used as a storeroom and a stable, was about to be demolished. The restoration turned it into a cabaret and attractive living space.
Insulating on the rafters with LINITHERM PAL SIL T offers many benefits: homogenous insulation without thermal bridges, rigid polyurethane (PU) foam as a high-performance insulation material for high insulating effect, usable even for very small board thicknesses, quick and easy installation. The inside can be plastered, painted or wallpapered.

In the face of ever more stringent stipulations of the Energy Saving Ordinance, the future lies with streamlined insulation systems such as LINITHERM. They give planners and architects far more design scope than do most of the other systems.
