How to Insulate Your Roof.A home’s roof is perhaps the most important element when it comes to insulation; not only does it protect against rain and bad weather, but it also plays a crucial role in thermal insulation, helping to keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer.
Withoutinsulation, in winter the heat produced by the heating system will tend to escape from the house, and in summer, external heat will enter the house, turning it into what we commonly call an “oven.”
Many people mistakenly believe that the only solution is to replace the roof, which involves high costs and disruptive construction work. Wrong! Solving the problem of an uninsulated roof is not difficult;thanks to our systems, insulation can be installed in just one day, without construction sites that create problems and mess in the home, and at a fraction ofthe costof replacing the roof.
What does roof insulation mean?
Insulationis the process ofpreventing the transfer of heat from one space to another. By applying an insulating material, it is possible to block the flow of heat (and, to some extent,sound) between two spaces at different temperatures.
Applying a layer of insulation in the attic serves precisely to prevent heat transfer between the home and the outside environment, yielding a twofold benefit:
- in winter:it prevents the heat generated by the home heating system from escaping from the house, keeping theindoor temperature higher;
- in the summer:it prevents outside heat from entering the home through the roof, keeping the indoor temperature lower and reducing the need for cooling systems.
One ofthemajoradvantagesof our system is that you don’t need to completely redo the roof to achieve better insulation; all you need to do is inject a high-quality insulation material into the existing roof to improve its thermal performance. It’s good for your health—and your wallet!
Choosing Natural Materials for Roof Insulation
Our insulation is a state-of-the-art product withhigh insulating power; it is completelynatural and certified for green building.
There are various types of attic insulation materials available on the market today. Many of these are now clearly inconvenient for customers because they require lengthy and complex installation processes. No one wants to have a construction site in their home for several days, both because of the inconvenience it causes and the significant cost it entails.
Which solution to choose based on the type of roof
In addition to its insulation and sustainability features, our insulation is cost-effective because it can be applied to virtuallyany type of existing roof. If the attic is accessible, the installer can proceed by laying a layer of insulation in that space. If the attic is completely enclosed, holes will be drilled from the inside to inject the insulation; the holes will then be sealed, and everything will return to its original appearance.
