Description of the construction: C. Hasse & Sohn integrated VIP elements into a waterproof roof system (Kubidritt-SlimRoof-System), whereby each individual component, from the moisture barrier to the waterproofing, was optimized. The roof is designed on the basis of a non-ventilated roof. There are two layers of VIPs (2x15 mm) arranged to minimize edge effects.

Figure 1: First layer of VIPs being laid on the self-adhesive moisture barrier system Hassolan Duo (wall joints and threshhold with construction insulation).

Figure 2: Second layer of VIPs being laid in a different alignment to the first. The VIPs are fixed with self-adhesive tape. The two VIP layers (each 15 mm thick) ensure an insulation efficiency in line with DIN 4108-2 even if the vacuum is no longer in tact.
