Natural, breathable roof system

Our Passive Roof System is designed for architects seeking uncompromising thermal performance within a refined, fabric-first design. Available in 3 depths, it achieves U-values as low as 0.10 W/m²K. The 300mm and 360mm panels meet passive design principles, while the 400mm system attains full Passive House certification. Offered in cut vaulted and flat roof configurations, it provides exceptional airtightness, design flexibility, and seamless integration with our Passive Wall and Foundation systems.
