As thousands of indigenous plants take root on the massive garden roof of the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre, lightweight STYROFOAM™ Brand ROOFMATE™ Insulation placed on top of the protected membrane roof's waterproof membrane will have the compressive strength and water resistance necessary to withstand wet environments, heavy soil loads, weather extremes and foot traffic, without sacrificing insulation performance.
Developed by Dow more than 40 years ago, PMR is the longest-lasting roof on the market today. STYROFOAM™ Brand XPS Foam Insulation products for PMR applications help to keep the membrane at a constant temperature to minimize the most common causes of premature roof failure:
- Freeze-thaw cycling
- Ultraviolet degradation
- Mechanical damage
