Flat Roof Insulation
Greenland Eco Construction Ltd provides both retro fit and new build flat roof insulation for domestic and commercial clients throughout Kildare, Dublin and Meath. Flat roof insulation is highly specialised and requires a great deal of knowledge and training.
One average, Irish homes lose up to 30% of heat through a poorly insulated roof. This loss of heat increases the amount of energy it takes to keep your home warm, increase your emissions output and causes more expensive energy bills. Installing effective flat roof insulation, you can significantly reduce our energy bills all while ensuring your home is warmer, cosier place to be.
The type of insulation used to effectively insulate flat roofs depends on the roof structure itself.
Flat Roof Insulation Methods
The type of insulation used to effectively insulate flat roofs depends on the roof structure itself.
On a new concrete slab, with a screed, semi-rigid insulation boards are laid underneath the roof covering, such as:
-
Flat Roof Insulation
-
Expanded Polystyrene Board
-
Extruded Polystyrene Board
-
Glass Fibre Bats
-
Mineral Fibre Bats
-
Urethane Foam Board
-
Phenolic Foam Board
In a new timber structure quilt insulation can be laid between the joists, such as:
-
-
Glass Fibre Quilt
-
Mineral Fibre Quilt
Installing flat roof insulation usually takes up to half a day and the occupants can remain in the house as works are being carried out. Installing flat roof insulation on your home will improve your Building Energy Rating (BER). There are SEAI grants available to help with the cost of the insulation.
