Roof insulation: how does this work exactly?

Roof insulation is an often-overlooked aspect of home efficiency, yet it plays a critical role in managing heat loss and maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures. By understanding the types of insulation available and their potential impact on energy savings, homeowners can make informed decisions that lead to long-term cost benefits and enhanced living conditions.

Roof insulation might not be the first thing you think of when viewing a house. Yet, it's crucial: on average , 25 to 30% of a house's heat is lost through the roof. While more than 80% of houses do have roof insulation, it's often only moderately insulated. By using the right insulation materials, you can not only save on heating costs, but your house will also stay much cooler on hot summer days.

During a building inspection , we always check the roof structure in the attic and whether insulation is present there. This gives you immediate insight into the current roof insulation of the house.
