The inverted roof is a flat roof construction and its main feature is that, unlike in conventional flat roof designs, the thermal insulation is laid above the Polymer Modified Mastic Asphalt.

Any type of deck or ballast can be selected as a finishing surface such as gravelled or pebbled roofs, paved terrace roofs, green roofs.

Mastic Asphalt (or Neuchatel as it is referred to in New Zealand) has been successfully used to provide unbeatable protection from water penetration for centuries.

Asphaltech inverted insulated roof X-sectional detail

The inverted roof is a flat roof construction and its main feature is that, unlike in conventional flat roof designs, the thermal insulation is laid above the Polymer Modified Mastic Asphalt, as a result the dew point is taken outside the building, eliminating any possible condensation forming inside the roof structure. Any type of deck or ballast can be selected as a finishing surface such as gravelled or pebbled roofs, paved terrace roofs, green roofs or a combination including planters.
