Removing, installing, cutting section in roof insulation/reinforcement (RIR)
  Note
The functions of the roof bracing and insulation components are taken over by the RIR, which is bonded to the whole of the roof. To remove dents in the roof, a section of the RIR can be cut out. The section should be no greater than 1000 cm2 (e.g. 40 cm x 25 cm). The space should be filled again with an appropriately sized section following repair work. If a section of RIR greater than 1000 cm2 has to be cut out laterally or longitudinally, the whole of the RIR has to be renewed.
