Unidek Aero Comfort
Structurally insulating and sound-insulating roof element
Unidek Aero Comfort forms an efficient basis for pitched roofs. Thanks to the continuous insulation core of EPS Platinum, thermal bridges are minimized and a high thermal performance is achieved. The integrated stiffeners enable large spans, while the fast installation contributes to smooth execution on the job site. Available in Uc-values from 0.27 to 0.10 for various new construction and renovation projects.
1. More comfort – Soundproofing
Thanks to the integrated plasterboard panel, Unidek Aero Comfort offers excellent sound insulation performance. Ambient noise and sound transmission between homes are reduced, resulting in higher acoustic comfort for the end user.
2. Free choice of interior finishing
Unidek Aero Comfort is available with a neat white visible side or with a sturdy gypsum fiberboard that can be finished as desired. This creates maximum flexibility in the finish and the space under the roof can easily be set up as, for example, a bedroom or study.
3. EPS Platinum
The core of Unidek Aero Comfort consists of EPS Platinum, a durable and efficient insulation material with excellent thermal performance up to passive house level. This contributes to an energy-efficient and future-proof roof structure.
4. Strong and constructive roof element
The combination of integrated edge stiffeners, impact-resistant sheet material, EPS Platinum, and a 12 mm plasterboard makes Unidek Aero Comfort a very strong and reliable roof element. Thanks to the patented stiffeners, the element is also self-supporting up to nearly 6 meters, which contributes to an efficient and stable roof construction.
5. Faster placement
Unidek Aero Comfort is very quick to install on site. In many cases, it is possible to make a standard roof wind- and watertight in a single day. Thanks to custom-made delivery, including the desired ridge bevel, the margin for error is greatly reduced and installation is more efficient and precise.
Class of fire
Unidek Aero Comfort features an excellent reaction to fire with Euroclass C-s2-d0. This performs better than the standard requirements of D or E that are imposed on construction products, depending on the type of building and application. Thus, the roof element contributes to a safe and compliant roof structure.
7. Advantages
