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 two...

Roofs Rain-Tight Sarking GUTEX Multiplex-top®, GUTEX Ultratherm® GUTEX Multiplex-top® (22 to 35 mm thick) and GUTEX Ultra­therm® (50 to 160 mm thick), single-ply sarking boards, install over above-rafter insulation, adding insulation while making the roof structure rain-tight. Their homogeneous structure offers many outstanding insulation qualities, which owe their uniqueness to the ultra-modern dry manufacturing technique used to produce the boards. Amongst these properties are a low U-value (λD = 0.044, respectively 0.042 W/mK) with increased stiffness and compressive strength (up to 200 kPa)....
