Abstract

A packing and/or transport unit comprising several insulation elements for flat roof insulation, wherein each insulation element has four side faces being arranged rectangular to each other, a lower surface and an upper surface, the lower and upper surfaces being connected to the side faces and being arranged spaced apart and non-parallel to each other. The insulation elements are arranged in layers in at least one stack on at least one support means being arranged under the stack, which support means comprises at least two carrying feet arranged for resting on a support surface. The stack comprises an uneven number of layers of insulation elements, and the packing and/or transport unit comprises at least one leveling means ensuring that a top plane of the packing and/or transport unit is arranged substantially parallel to the support surface.
