Inverted Roof Flap

Inverted roofing is typically installed on a concrete deck because a loading of 80kg m2 is required to retain the insulation on the roof.

Inverted roof flap.

The inverted roof requires thermal insulation in which abilities for thermal insulation are preserved even under the influence of humidity. The inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique was originally described to address challenging cases of large macular holes and myopic macular holes where it achieved higher anatomic success rate than the standard technique. All three types of flat roofing cost 250 to 350 per square 100 square feet but prices vary according to region and size of the roof. Compact thermal insulation from foamed extruded polystyrene xps is used in inverted roof systems.

In situ concrete is the easiest to apply ideally without a screed to falls see zero falls below as this can complicate the application and delay the installation programme. Glue laminated timber is also sometimes used. This procedure is not indicated in eyes with previous internal limiting membrane removal around the macular hole.

An inverted roof also referred to as a protected membrane or upside down roof is form of flat roof in which the waterproofing layer is beneath the thermal insulation rather than above it. The inverted ilm flap technique prevents the postoperative flat open appearance of a macular hole and improves both the functional and anatomic outcomes of vitrectomy for macular holes with a diameter greater than 400 μm.
