How to prevent heat escape through the roof?
Advancements in construction have provided us with greater opportunities to optimize energy management. In recent years, we have seen great progress in the field of thermal insulation - a response to the growing challenge of heating expenses. Homeowners with flat roofs should consider exploring modern technologies designed to reduce heat transfer from interior spaces.
Insulating a flat roof can be a major challenge - unlike sloping roofs, whose insulation is unlikely to pose major problems. All due to the lack of slope - so the workmanship and installation of thermal insulation materials must be at the highest possible level. How to cope with this problem?
How to insulate a flat roof?
To minimize the cost of insulating a flat roof, consider utilizing PIR insulation boards. The PIR foam contained in them reduces the overall weight of the roofing system. This effectively “relieves the burden” on the roof structure, which then translates into the final price of the roofing insulation.
PIR foam is characterized by low absorbency, not exceeding 2%, which makes the insulation boards a guarantee of maintaining excellent performance in terms of heat and moisture. It also offers the advantage of compatibility with waterproofing and vapor barriers. These benefits, among others, contribute to its growing popularity among investors.
