Roof Insulation Solutions

Posted: Sep 01, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 142 |

Even though your home may be insulated, chances are that it isn't up to today's standards. Ten or twenty years ago, electricity and gas was substantially cheaper and so many people didn't give the same thought to the roof insulation in their homes as they do now.

Roof insulation products such as loft insulation blankets are ok, but generally blanket insulation is one of the cheapest insulation materials and requires careful installation for effective performance. The days of pink fibreglass rolled insulation are long gone and in their place are spray foam insulation products. Spray foam insulation allows residential and commercial structures to be more sustainable by making them more energy efficient, healthier, and durable than traditionally insulated homes.

As far as roof insulation solutions go, polyurethane spray foam insulation has got to be the most cost effective in terms of what it does, how long it takes to install and the length of time it lasts.

Polyurethane insulation is available in the form of spray foam and is a closed cell insulation material that has a low conductivity gas lying within the cells. This gas is what gives the insulation a high R-value.

R-value is a measure of thermal resistance whereby the bigger the R-value, the better the insulation's effectiveness. Because polyurethane insulation has a high R-value it makes it more effective than other types of roof insulation. Not only that, but polyurethane insulation also strengthens the structure of the roof, giving you two reasons to not have to worry about your roof anymore, and two benefits of a product is always better than one!

Polyurethane insulation is four times stronger than fibre glass and if you choose this way to fix your roof, you will not be disappointed. The polyurethane insulation cannot be seen externally as it is applied to the underside of the tiles to make sure everything stays in place, so you don't have to worry about an unattractive roof. There really isn't a more effective or convenient method of insulating your roof.

RoofSURE has been working with polyurethane insulation for over 20 years, making them one of the leading loft insulation companies in the UK and no loft insulation company has a better track record with local authorities. If you're currently looking for a loft insulation company, look no further than RoofSURE.
