BauderECO FF; introducing a rigid PIR insulation, consisting of 80% biomass-balanced raw materials for a sustainable future, without compromising quality and performance.
BauderECO FF flat roof insulation is manufactured largely from biomass waste comprising residues from agriculture (plant stems, plant leaves, threshed corn cobs etc); recycled materials from their manufactured PIR offcuts (approximately 1%); and calcium carbonate from natural shell waste from the food industry to incorporate with a glass fleece for the board's facings.
When to specify
BauderECO FF is used within a warm roof construction for a heat/conditioned building on both new build construction and refurbishment of existing flat roofs.
Selected by clients seeking to meet carbon reduction goals for sustainability, commercial, and a net zero carbon roadmap across the supply chain for construction and ongoing maintenance of flat roofs on buildings.
BauderECO FF insulation utilises the *biomass balance approach, and is manufactured from 80% biomass-based raw materials to offer an environmental and sustainable alternative, compared with conventional PIR manufactured from fossil fuel derivatives.
Plus points
- Low embodied carbon compared to standard PIR production that uses 100% raw material from conventional fossil derivatives based on the biomass balance approach.
- Manufactured using renewable raw materials derived from biomass waste and residues from, for example, agricultural production, crop, or food processing.
- REDcert² sustainability certification - 3rd party auditing for a voluntary certification scheme or the use of sustainable materials in the chemical industry. This is for the chemicals used to make the PIR insulation and the finished product itself.
- Retains all the benefits of PIR - lightweight, thin, cost-effective, durable, and long-lasting.
- Fire performance matches that of our conventional PIR.
- Wind load testing and fire testing have been carried out for BTRS and Thermofol mechanically fixed system. Further system testing is ongoing.
- BBA certification is in progress to verify the performance data on ECO FF and, on successful completion of testing, will be added to the current PIR certificate.
Reinforced bitumen membrane systems
Bauder Total Roof System- with a range of membranes for a tailored solution for each project with BauderK5K bitumen cap sheet modified with SBS. Once the project includes a green roof, our BauderPLANT E root-resistant cap sheet is specified.
Enhance with:
Green roofs - Solar PV - Biosolar PV
Single Ply Systems
Bauder Thermofol, is a mechanically fixed application, a popular PVC single ply waterproofing for lightweight solutions where load-bearing limits are a factor. The membrane offers root resistance for extensive green roofs.
Enhance with:
Extensive green roofs - Solar PV - Biosolar PV
*Under the biomass balance model, the resulting products may not contain quoted volumes of biomass-based raw material. However, the volumes of biomass-based raw materials are allocated and verified by a 3rd party certification scheme.
