Intensive substrate is used for more heavy duty roofs such as roof gardens.

INSULATION FAQs

Insulation allows the flow of air and heat inside a home. If a house is properly insulated, houses will be able to retain warmth and thus keep away from the cold.

Insulation also has benefits during the summer as it has fantastic thermal properties which prevents warm air from outside from entering the property and keeps the cool air from escaping.

There are three main types of insulation, foam boards such as PIR, fibreglass and mineral wool.

Roof insulation allows optimal air and heat circulation around your home. Insulation between the joists keeps warmth in your living space below, creating a colder loft. Insulation in the rafters allows you to instead create and keep warmth in the house.

This can be effective for heating costs and energy efficiency as well.

Roof insulation, when installed correctly, can last for 35 - 40 years depending on the status of the roof. It is an effective way to reduce heat loss and therefore reduce heating bills.
