Roofs Above-Rafter Insulation GUTEX Multiplex-top®, GUTEX Ultratherm®, GUTEX Thermosafehomogen®, GUTEX Thermosafe®, GUTEX Multitherm® When most people think of insulation, they think of insulation against the cold. However, if the area of a building involved is the roof, insulation against heat in summer is also extremely important.To avoid unpleasant heat in areas directly under roofs, insulation materials with higher volumetric heat storage capacity and lower thermal conductivity are required. GUTEX insulation boards are specifically engineered to provide the optimum combination of these...

Between-Rafter Insulation GUTEX Multiplex-top®, GUTEX Ultratherm®, GUTEX Thermosafe-homogen®, GUTEX Multitherm®, GUTEX Thermofibre®, GUTEX Thermoflex® Tightness and installation ease are essential to achieving effective between-rafter insulation.
