Waterproofing and insulation for roofs in Marrakech
Need new or renewed roof waterproofing? This is the right time to include insulation and improve thermal comfort without planning a second job later.
Why insulate while waterproofing?
Insulation forms part of the roof build-up, beneath or alongside the waterproofing depending on the selected configuration. A planned waterproofing job is therefore the logical time to decide whether to improve thermal comfort too.
This avoids repeating part of the work later simply to add insulation.
Insulation can be included in both roof types
Adding insulation does not force a particular finish. Your roof can remain non-accessible or become an outdoor space.
Insulated non-accessible roof
You mainly want to protect the house and improve thermal comfort without making the roof a living space.
Insulated tiled roof
You want better thermal comfort while using the roof as an outdoor space.
Want to use the work as an opportunity to insulate your roof?
Tell us about your roof, its use and your project. We propose a configuration integrating insulation and waterproofing from the start.
What makes up an insulated, waterproof roof?
Insulation is not simply placed somewhere beneath the membrane. Each layer must be compatible with the substrate, roof use and planned finish.
Substrate and falls
The base must be stable and allow water to reach the outlets correctly.
Vapour control according to the system
Depending on the selected build-up, a dedicated vapour control layer may be included before the insulation.
Thermal insulation
Insulation type and thickness are selected for the roof configuration and desired comfort level.
Waterproofing and finish
The waterproofing system and final protection are then suited to a non-accessible or tiled roof.
New construction or renovation: insulation is planned differently
On a new roof, levels and layers can be planned before finishes. In renovation, we first establish what already exists and what can be retained.
You are building
Insulation, waterproofing, finished levels and future roof use can be planned as one system before the different layers are installed.
You are renewing existing waterproofing
Renovation can be a good time to add insulation, but the new build-up must follow the existing condition, substrate and available levels.
You already have a tiled roof
Adding insulation may require more extensive work because tiles, thresholds, outlets and available heights must be considered.
See waterproofing renovationHow the work proceeds
Details depend on the selected system, but insulation and waterproofing are treated as one project from start to finish.
Define the configuration
We assess the substrate, levels, roof use and existing construction before choosing the build-up.
Install insulation and waterproofing
The different layers are installed in the specified order, with upstands, connections and outlets treated.
Finish according to roof use
The finish suits the project: a non-accessible roof with protected exposed membrane or an accessible tiled roof.
Your roof is already waterproofed but you want insulation added?
Insulation can also be added to an already waterproofed roof. We assess existing condition, available levels and planned finish to avoid unnecessarily replacing what can be retained.
Roof insulation and waterproofing prices in Marrakech
The price depends on insulation type, waterproofing system and roof configuration. Below are indicative prices for the main solutions.
Roof insulation and waterproofing in Marrakech: your questions
Is it better to insulate while waterproofing the roof?
When waterproofing work is already planned, including insulation lets the layers be designed together and avoids reopening the roof later just to add insulation.
Can a non-accessible roof be insulated?
Yes. Insulation can be included beneath a system for a non-accessible roof. The exposed protected finish remains suitable for a roof not used as a living space.
Can a roof intended for tiles be insulated?
Yes. Insulation can also be planned on an accessible tiled roof. Levels, waterproofing and finish must be designed together from the start.
Can insulation be added when renovating an old roof?
Often, yes. However, the solution depends on existing waterproofing condition, substrate, available heights and planned finish.
Does roof insulation help with the Marrakech heat?
Yes. Suitable thermal insulation limits heat transfer through the roof and can improve comfort in rooms below. Results depend on the selected build-up and building configuration.
How much does roof waterproofing with insulation cost in Marrakech?
The price depends on area, roof condition, insulation type and thickness, waterproofing system and finish. A quotation defines all the work precisely before starting.
