Fight Off The Cold By Insulating Your Flat Roof
24/10/2014
Staying warm during the cold autumn and winter months is something that we all cherish. If our boilers and heating stopped working we would have a miserable time ahead of us. Alongside your heating it is important to insulate your home so that you can save on energy bills and keep as warm as possible. If you have a flat roof in your home or business premises be sure to consider fitting the high quality insulation to stay warm this winter.
Improving existing insulation
If you have had a new flat roof installed in recent years then it will have hopefully been completed to the highest standard, complete with appropriate insulation that will last for years to come. Up to 25% of a buildings heat is lost through its roof so making sure that the insulation is working efficiently is important for saving you money on your bills. If you have an older roof, or if your insulation is in need of repair, then you should consider replacement insulation using the most modern and effective insulating materials.
What insulation do we use?
We recommend and use 3 different manufacturers of roofing insulation that are sure to improve energy efficiency throughout your property – these are Kingspan, Celotex and EcoTherm.
