About 25% of the heat lost from an uninsulated home comes from the roof. But the good news is that you can install roof insulation very easily.
So you want to save on energy costs by installing insulation in your roof or inside your home? Minh Quan Insulation will advise you to easily find materials and save on energy costs that you have to pay monthly.
a. How thick should the insulation be installed?
Different types of roofs will have different insulation installation techniques. Sloped roofs are simpler and have more material options, while flat roofs have more ways to install insulation.
The required insulation layer thickness, glass wool or mineral wool, is 250mm to 270mm on average.
If you already have insulation, but it was installed some time ago, you should check the thickness, as a few years ago insulation was typically installed around 200mm thick. , and in previous years it was 100mm.
b. How does insulation work?
For a recessed roof solution, you will need to install insulation above the surface immediately below the pitched roof, and above the flat roof. This will help keep your space cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and will reduce heat loss from your roof.
Assuming you don't have a room directly under the roof, and it's just a bare area, you can still do all the roof insulation.
One important thing to remember with a warm roof solution is the need for ventilation directly underneath the roof tiles. This helps prevent any condensation from building up, or water getting through the tiles. You need to create space for air to flow parallel to the railings and just under the tiles from one side of the roof to the peak and down the other side, otherwise the roof structure will be damaged.
Insulation materials are used for warm roof solutions
Materials used for under-roof protection include coverings made of Rockwool or glasswool, held together by wooden boards attached as railings. XPS foam insulation panels can also be installed. They often have to be cut to the required size.
There is an exception to the ventilation rule when applying spray foam insulation. Polyfoam can also provide additional physical strength when the roof is not in the best condition, by binding the structure together. However, tiles must be laid before applying foam insulation.
