Thermofol PVC System

When to specify...

The Thermofol PVC System has a high grade virgin polymer formulation and good inherent properties in relation to fire performance. It is suitable for either new build or refurbishment projects. The PVC formulation ensures it is resistant to chemicals and micro-organism attack making it ideal for green roof situations. Defined permutations of the system hold fire classification B_ROOF(t4) for compliance with building regulations under TS 1187 test method 4 for external fire exposure to roofs.
