Compliant, Constructible, Cost Effective
Roof & Ceiling Insulation Solutions
Section J compliance is now directly affected by addressing Thermal Bridging, Continuous Insulation and Condensation Management.
When Section J was first introduced, the norm was to use the roof to achieve the minimum Roof and Ceiling Section J requirement.
With vastly increased levels of Thermal Performance, drastically increased cost of Roof Spacers and Insulation and a significant focus on design for condensation control Neurock’s commercial solutions balance these requirements for all commercial building types.
METAL ROOFS
Neurock’s Proclima Solitex UM
Proclima Solitex UM provides a 3D separation layer between roof cladding and the insulation beneath or behind it.
Key Benefits:
- High performance monolithic membrane
- Increased ventilation and acoustic insulation between roof/wall insulation
- High Water Resistance
- Low Vapour Resistance
Neurock’s Solitex UM provide essential condensation control for Commercial Metal Roofs, it sets the foundation for compliance in design and building.
Core Project Applications
- Schools, Warehouses, Offices, Hotels, Motels, Aged Care
Neurock Thermocell
Neurock Thermocell is a continuous insulation product that is tested and meets the Australian Standards for Thermal Insulation, Condensation Control and Fire Performance.
It can be used as a fibre free roof, wall or under floor insulation.
Thermocell Reflective Insulation is manufactured from a fire-resistant foam or cellular core.
Installed directly over safety wire and used to provide a continuous insulation above roof purlins without the use of roof spacers or roof raisers.
Key Benefits:
- Significant reduction on the cost of installation for commercial roof insulation
- Easy to handle and fibre free
- High Water Barrier
- Superior Vapour Barrier with XHD Facings
- Excellent acoustic properties to reduce unwanted noise such as excessive rain noise
Core Project Applications
See our case study page for details of Thermocell project applications
- Schools, Warehouses, Offices, Hotels, Motels, Aged Care, Hospitals
Neurock Roofing Blanket
If you accept that the use of roof spacer and up to 130mm glasswool blanket and foil creates a series of hefty design and construction challenges for specifiers and building professionals alike, then we’d suggest a different approach to this stye of product.
Neurock Roofing Blanket is designed to be used directly under metal roofs and wall cladding in combination with Solitex UM.
When used directly under metal roofs without any roof spacer it provides the initial layer of insulation protection for your building.
Key Benefits:
- Significant reduction on the cost of installation for commercial roof insulation
- Glasswool Core is Non-Combustible
- A Wide Range of Non-Combustible and Group 1 Facings are Available
- Sound dampening properties to reduce unwanted noise such as excessive rain noise
Core Project Applications

- Schools, Warehouses, Offices, Hotels, Motels, Aged Care
CEILING INSULATION
Improved Condensation Management & Construction Costs
When the insulation under a roof is installed to manage the conditioned space below the linings the running costs of a building are typically higher and dependent on climate zones and mechanical design, can be more prone to condensation problems.
It is a well acknowledged fact that conditioned spaces that have insulation directly on ceiling linings are better thermally controlled.
Assuming a basic roof insulation barrier is provided directly under the roof, the ceiling insulation is primarily controlling the ambient air temperature within the conditioned space.
ICANZ acknowledge in their current Thermal Insulation Handbook, that ceiling insulation significantly boosts the level of thermal performance to roof/ceiling systems.
In short if you are looking to reduce the risk of condensation and meet Section J, coupling Ceiling and Roof Insulation is a must.
Key Benefits:
- Reducing Power Costs and boosting Energy Efficiency because they offer High Thermal Performance tested to AS 4859.1 (2019)
- Superior Fire Safe Properties protecting people and property
- Suitable and Compliant for All Commercial Ceiling Voids
- Providing a better living environment with high Noise Reduction properties.
- Made from inorganic materials they are resistant to rodents and other vermin
- Inorganic are less prone to being damaged by mould or mildew
- Available in rolls and other formats to suit grid and commercial ceiling structure allowing continuous insulation.
