Insulate your Flat Roof in Time for Winter!

Insulate your Flat Roof in Time for Winter!

It’s the beginning of July, the sun is beaming and the last thing you are likely to be worrying about is protecting your home from the cold weather.  

However, it is at this time of year that you should be looking forward to the winter months. Did you know that 25% of heat can be lost through your roof?

As we are all aware, with the increase in energy prices it is very important now more than ever to stop costly energy escaping from your home.  

One way you can do that is by insulating your flat roof! 

Single-ply roofing which is used to describe membranes that can be constructed in one solid layer, primarily for flat roof installations, started appearing on low-slope commercial roofs in the 1960s. A marked revolution of these products took flight in the 1980s, which means that many older properties were built with poor or no

insulation. Perhaps, this was when your property was constructed?

Listed below are a few advantages as to why insulating your flat roof is the best thing to do right now:

• Cost-effective solution
• Thermally efficient
• Allows heat to be retained
• Prevents damp and condensation
• Best roofing option for UK weather

Interested in a warm flat roof installation?

Rigid insulation boards are installed on a vapour control layer on the outside/over existing roof with the new waterproof membrane on top to create a warm roof. This will in turn keep energy costs down, prevent heat loss in winter and will keep it cool in summer. It also prevents damp and condensation build up which occurs in traditional cold, vented roofs

At All Roofing we are highly skilled and have considerable expertise when it comes to installing high quality insulated flat roofing systems.
