Quick link: Flat roof applications Pitched roof applications
Dow Roofmate Avance™ has been specifically designed for insulated roof membrane assembly (IRMA) applications. Made from extruded polystyrene foam, Dow Roofmate Avance™ combined high compressive strength rating and superior water resistant properties make it ideal for your flat concrete and metal deck roofing applications. In Australia’s extreme climatic conditions, noted for its high levels of ultraviolet radiation, with summer air temperatures often exceeding 40ºC and winter night temperatures falling below 0 ºC, can cause havoc with some traditional membrane materials, making them susceptible to fractures and leaking. Dow Roofmate Avance™ long term retained R-Value helps keep the membrane at a constant temperature thus minimising the harmful effects of thermal cycling, expansion and contraction, ultra-violet degradation and mechanical damage - the most common causes of premature roof failure.

The exceptional robustness of Dow Roofmate Avance™ provides the optimum insulating substrate for the construction of rooftop traffic decks, promenades, terraces and gardens. Dow Roofmate Avance™ extruded polystyrene insulation uses a CFC and HCFC free blowing agent, is free from ozone depleting gasses (ODP) and is Green Star compliant.
Dow Roofmate Avance™ is a tried and tested system that has been used on thousands of roofs throughout Australia, Europe, United States, Japan, Canada, Middle East and recently in Asia’s cities of Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
