Innovation with bio-based PIR insulation and circular roofing membranes.
IKO aims to minimise the use of primary raw materials and reduce the carbon footprint of its applied products, their packaging and associated services throughout their lifecycle.
At least 50% of the IKO enertherm ATELIA insulation board is made from BIO-BASED raw materials. Bio-based raw materials are non-fossil and 100% renewable. In this case, they are agricultural residues. See our independent test report (drawn up externally by Vinçotte) in accordance with ISO 1.
Bio-based IKO insulation boards guarantee the same excellent characteristics as the existing product.
To take advantage of the circular potential of Atelia roofing systems, it is necessary to make the right choices both at the design stage and during installation.
IKO Atelia roofing systems are designed and installed according to the circular dismantling principle. The different layers are mechanically fixed or loosely laid and ballasted so they can be completely dismantled at the end of the roofing system's service life. A detachable roofing system goes hand in hand with adapted detailing near roof upstands, roof penetrations, etc.
If you have any questions about dismantling IKO Atelia products, please consult the IKO Design Center, the IKO removal advice or contact your IKO advisor.
IKO bituminous products last at least 35 years and are overcoatable (see EWA report 2021-09-19). IKO enertherm Atelia insulation has a lifespan of at least 50 years.
Combined with efficient maintenance during the use phase, IKO Atelia roofing systems will exceed the lifespan of the building.
By maintaining excellent properties such as pressure resistance, moisture resistance and thermal performance, IKO enertherm Atelia insulation is perfect for a second service life in both existing and new buildings. This results in a service life of up to 100 years.
IKO enertherm Atelia insulation can be recycled into a new raw material that can be used to produce new insulation boards.
This is possible due to intensive collaboration with scientific partners and the waste processing industry.
25% to 50% of the roll weight of Atelia roofing membranes (see 'Declaration RC-005/1 of SGS INTRON') consists of recycled raw materials, depending on the type of roofing membrane.
The raw materials come from three streams: recycled raw materials, trimmings during installation and old roofs that have been dismantled and recycled.

IKO Atelia circular roofing membranes are particularly suitable for overlaying, resulting in an extended lifespan. This additional overlay can double or, in the case of a double overlay, triple the lifespan of the roof.
This results in a service life of up to 105 years.
Because the roofing system does not need to be completely removed and renewed, you can significantly extend its life by performing an intervention with minimal environmental impact.
IKO is at the forefront of making its product offerings and roofing systems circular. This is made a reality thanks to the ORION recycling plant and the take-back guarantee offered to the client.
IKO distinguishes itself through a holistic approach that takes into account all phases of the life cycle (from raw materials to production, from design to installation, from maintenance to extended lifespan, from recycling to new products).
