Making your home the right temperature for the right price…Roof Insulation

Insulation is the most important thing you can do to improve the energy efficiency of your home. By insulating your ceiling, floors and walls, you retain valuable warmth in winter while keeping out the summer heat. Roof insulation is of course the most important for any house because heat rises and is very quickly lost through uninsulated ceilings.  It also helps reduce the carry of sound from room to room within a house.

Roof Insulation works by restricting the flow of heat or sound through ceiling cavities and also stops drafts that can flow through cracks and gaps in and around light fittings. Uninsulated homes are at risk of higher heating or cooling costs as they loose valuable heat during winter and gain unwanted heat over summer

Heat and sound can pass through any material, however, some materials are more resistant than others. While  metal, glass and air easily allow the transfer of heat or sound,  materials such as animal fur, thick clothing, and even still air, which are more resistant.

Materials known to significantly resist the flow of heat or sound are called insulators or insulation and are installed into ceilings, floors and walls to minimize the need for heating and cooling or to soundproof your home.

Tips for winter

Installing underfloor insulation does not completely protect your home from heat loss. To keep your house warm in winter, you also need to insulate walls and ceilings and ensure large areas of glass, wall vents, and gaps and cracks in external doors and windows are appropriately covered or sealed to stop warm air from leaking out.

Tips for summer

To keep your home cool in summer, a good quality roof insulation should be combined with appropriate shading of windows and good ventilation to prevent hot air from entering and being trapped inside the home.

R Values

Thermal insulation is given an R value which measures the level of thermal resistance of the material. The higher the R value, the higher the level of insulation provided. It is important to consider the climate of your region before choosing the R value that is right for your home.
