Çatıper

Catiper Thin Perlite Based Roof Mat is stored in PP laminated bags, and thanks to the closed porous structure of perlite, it is minimally affected by the relative humidity and thermal differences that occur due to climatic changes in the cold hipped roof. Thus, it provides permanent thermal insulation on roofs throughout the life of the building.

Mineral wool (open-pore fibers) cannot protect itself against relative humidity and moisture formation resulting from thermal changes occurring in the attic, and its insulation value decreases over time. Therefore, a vapor barrier cover must be used for mineral wool.

While the roofing mattress can be easily taken to the side for repairs, renovations or touring in the attic, mineral wool (rock wool, glass wool) cannot be removed again after laying, so walking paths must be built or walked on it. Otherwise, mineral wool may decrease in thickness over time, collapse and lose its initial insulation value.

While the fine perlite contained in the Çatıper roof mat does not allow any microorganisms to grow, mineral wool prepares the ground for bacteria and molds to live due to its open porous structure along with moisture. This creates unhealthy environments in the attic.
