Understanding Between-Joist Insulation and Condensation Issues
Older flat roofs often feature between-joist insulation, which may lead to serious condensation problems if not properly ventilated. When warm air from inside the building rises, it meets the cold air trapped between the joists, causing condensation to form on the underside of the roof deck. Over time, this can lead to:
Mould and mildew growth
Rotting of the timber joists
Damage to the roofing membrane
Solution: Warm Roof Construction
Switching to a warm roof design eliminates these condensation issues by placing the insulation above the roof deck, creating a continuous thermal barrier. This modern roofing method offers:
Improved energy efficiency by minimising heat loss
Reduced risk of condensation and moisture damage
Better ventilation, ensuring the timber structure remains dry and sound
If your property still has between-joist insulation and you’re experiencing condensation or damp problems, upgrading to a warm roof system is the best long-term solution.
Non-LED Uplighters and Flat Roof Condensation
Non-LED uplighters are a common yet overlooked cause of condensation issues in flat roofs. These older lighting systems emit significant amounts of heat, which rises into the ceiling void. When the hot air comes into contact with colder surfaces, such as poorly insulated or unventilated flat roof areas, condensation forms. Over time, this can result in:
Damp patches on ceilings
Peeling paint or wallpaper
Structural damage caused by trapped moisture
Solutions: Energy-Efficient Lighting and Roof Upgrades
Replace Non-LED Uplighters: Switch to energy-efficient LED uplighters. These lights produce less heat and significantly reduce the risk of condensation while lowering your energy bills.
Warm Roof Renewal: If your flat roof is outdated, consider a full warm roof renewal. This upgrade ensures proper insulation and ventilation, preventing moisture from building up within the roof structure.
Install Vapour Barriers: During a warm roof renewal, vapour barriers can be added to further control moisture levels and protect the internal structure.
