The design required a long lasting highly functioning roof which not only protected the investment from the elements, and had a sleek design, it had to perform in a healthy highly insulated way.
RTA Studio and Equus worked closely on the roofing design for this home. They chose a DUOTHERM Warm Roof system, which combines a robust waterproofing membrane with thermal insulation and a vapor barrier. This provides the home with condensation control, consistent internal temperatures, and increased energy efficiency. Project specific condensation risk analyses were calculated for this roof to ensure it provided adequate thermal resistance to contribute to the sustainable operation of the building. Thermal resistance is essential for creating a healthy, dry home and reducing energy needs for heating and cooling a large structure over its lifetime.
