Maximizing Roof Lifespan and Energy Efficiency with Advanced Combo Roof Systems in UAE

Flat roofs in UAE commercial and residential buildings are constantly exposed to intense heat, heavy rain, and UV radiation, which can reduce roof lifespan and lead to water leakage, structural damage, and increased energy costs. For builders and contractors, installing the right roofing system is crucial for ensuring long-term protection, energy efficiency, and compliance with local regulations.

The Combo Roof System from AIM Industries is an all-in-one solution that integrates waterproofing and thermal insulation into a single system. This system not only protects the roof from moisture but also enhances energy performance, reducing cooling loads and operational costs. Certified and compliant with UAE standards, the best combo roof system deliver durability, efficiency, and faster installation for flat roofs of any type.

Maximizing Roof Lifespan and Energy Efficiency with Advanced Combo Roof Systems in UAE

What is a Combo Roof System?

A Combo Roof System combines advanced waterproofing membranes with thermal insulation, creating a seamless protective layer over flat roofs. Unlike traditional multi-layer roofing, this solution:

  • Reduces installation time by up to 40%
  • Provides high thermal resistance to minimize heat gain
  • Ensures complete waterproofing and protection from leaks
  • Meets UAE building codes and DCL certification requirements

By combining durability, low maintenance, and superior energy efficiency, the combo roof system has become a trusted solution for UAE contractors and builders.

Key Benefits of Combo Roofing Systems

  • Long-Term Roof Protection

    Combining insulation with waterproofing shields the roof from thermal stress, UV exposure, and water infiltration, extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

  • Energy Efficiency

    The insulation layer reduces heat transfer into the building, lowering cooling loads and saving on energy bills, particularly in the UAE’s hot climate.

  • Faster Installation

    Advanced AIM Industries technologies reduce installation time, enabling contractors to complete projects quickly without compromising quality.

  • Compliance with UAE Standards

    DCL-certified products ensure adherence to UAE construction regulations, providing peace of mind for contractors and developers.

  • Adaptability for Any Flat Roof

    The system is suitable for commercial, residential, or industrial flat roofs, delivering a consistent, durable, and efficient solution across multiple projects.

Advanced Application Process for UAE Flat Roofs

  • Roof Site Preparation

    Before installation, a certified engineer inspects the cured roof slab to assess its condition and identify any additional preparation of work required. This ensures the roof is ready for waterproofing and thermal insulation.

  • Polyurethane Foam Application

    A combination of POLYOL and MDI is sprayed at high pressure across the roof. The sprayed foam flows into every gap and micro-crack on the roof surface, then rapidly expands its initial volume multiple times to create a continuous, watertight, and insulating layer with superior heat resistance.

  • UV Protection Coating

    Once the foam sets, a UV-resistant coating either rubberized bituminous ADVATEX 1000 or acrylic ADVACOAT 250 is applied over the entire roof. This layer protects the foam from sunlight until flood testing is completed.

  • Flood Testing

    After the UV coating dries (minimum 24 hours), the roof undergoes a flood test to verify waterproofing effectiveness. A detailed inspection and test report document the results for compliance and quality assurance.

  • Paneling and Screed Layer

    Following successful flood testing, a geotextile membrane (ADVAFELT) is laid for protection. Paneling with expansion joint filler boards is done, followed by screed application using pre-mixed cementitious adhesive mortar. The screed, reinforced with plasticizers and microfibers, achieves proper slope, thickness, and crack resistance.

  • Angle Fillets and Joint Treatment

    Corners and construction joints are treated with heavy-duty PU sealant and backing rods to accommodate concrete movement due to thermal expansion and contraction.

  • Finishing Coating

    Contractors can select from three finishing options:

    • ADVABRUSH 1: Acrylic polymer-modified cementitious coating
    • ADVACOAT 250: Highly elastic liquid waterproofing styrene acrylic emulsion
    • ADVATHANE PU Coating: Aliphatic polyurethane coating

    The selected coating is applied uniformly over screed and upstands, creating an aesthetic, durable, and UV-resistant roof surface with a maximum thickness of 1000 microns.
