Fibreglass Roof

Insulated fibreglass roof being moved into position

Fibreglass roofs provide a high degree of thermal insulation and have stood the test of time. These have been in use on digesters for in excess of 20 years.

 

The Fre-energy roof has insulation that can rival that of the digester tank; we have yet to find a material that approaches this lifetime or provides the same level of thermal insultaion.

The gas in the digester roof space is wet. If moisture condenses onto a cold roof then heat will be lost.

 

Heat lost is heat that is not available for other uses.

 

The Fre-energy fibreglass roof is resistant to corrosion. Maintaining the volume of material inside the digester prevents corrosion.

Key points:

  • Maintains a high degree of insulation
  • Resistant to corrosion
  • Provides structural support against extreme weather conditions
  • Has a 20 year guarantee, compared to material roofs which typically only have a 5 year guarantee
