What's the difference between an inverted roof and a vertical roof?

Houses have different orientations and areas, so many China residents should consider the orientations and geomantic omen of different houses. The theory of five elements still has some truth. So what's the difference between an inverted roof and a vertical roof? This problem bothers many people. So what is an inverted roof? The orientation and area of the house are different. The orientation of different houses and the problem of houses are issues that many China residents want to consider. The theory of five elements still has some truth. So what's the difference between an inverted roof and a vertical roof? This problem bothers many people. So what is an inverted roof? For more information, please see the explanation below.

The difference between inverted roof and vertical roof

The vertical roof structure is generally the insulation layer under the waterproof layer; Inverted roof is to invert the waterproof layer and insulation layer in vertical roof layer by layer, with waterproof layer at the bottom and insulation layer at the top. Vertical roofs generally have the problem of high water absorption. If water is absorbed, the thermal insulation performance will be greatly reduced, which can not meet the requirements of thermal insulation. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the waterproof layer to prevent moisture infiltration and ensure the dryness of the insulation layer, so as to achieve the purpose of thermal insulation. Inverted roof can prevent the waterproof layer from expanding with heat and contracting with cold, and prolong its service life. The insulation layer provides a layer of physical protection for the waterproof layer to prevent it from being damaged by external forces.

What is an inverted roof?

Traditional roof

That is, the vertical roof, its structure is generally the insulation layer under the waterproof layer. Because the traditional roof insulation layer generally uses perlite, cement polystyrene board, aerated concrete, ceramsite concrete, polystyrene board (EPS) and other materials. These materials usually have the common problem of high water absorption. If they absorb water, the thermal insulation performance will be greatly reduced, which can not meet the requirements of thermal insulation. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the waterproof layer to prevent water infiltration and ensure the dryness of the insulation layer, so as to achieve the purpose of insulation.

Inverted roof

The inversion method is to invert the waterproof layer and insulation layer in the traditional roof layer by layer, with the waterproof layer at the bottom and the insulation layer at the top. Compared with the traditional construction method, this construction method can prevent the waterproof layer from expanding with heat and contracting with cold, and prolong its service life. The second insulating layer provides a layer of physical protection for the waterproof layer to prevent it from being damaged by external forces.

Above, I introduced the difference between inverted roof and vertical roof. The traditional roof structure is positive, that is, the vertical roof has heat insulation function. These contents can be learned more and analyzed. What is an inverted roof? The waterproof layer and insulation layer are reversed, and the waterproof layer is below. This is an inverted roof, which can prevent external damage.
