Rockwool Pitched Roof Insulation

The roof must be thoroughly prepared before you can start insulating.

Rockwool pitched roof insulation.

Insulating a pitched roof with mineral wool is a very economical and environmentally efficient decision because it significantly decreases heating and cooling bills and reduces the greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Given that a quarter of heat is lost through the roof in an uninsulated home source. The roof will typically be insulated above the rafter line creating what is most commonly known as a warm roof. Where the space does not need to be habitable rockwool provides solutions for application at the ceiling line.

Utilising a pitched roof as a usable living space is an effective way to maximise the square meterage of a residential development. Maximise space and performance. Our insulation also helps slow down the spread of fire thereby giving extra time for evacuation and rescue operation. Energy saving trust one of the most efficient and cost effective ways of insulating a building is to install loft insulation in the roof space.

Insulating between and below the rafters procedure. Recognising that the insulation requirements of a pitched roof will be determined by how the roof space will be used rockwool offers a range of products for installation between the rafters or for high performance systems both between and over the rafters. Exceptional dimensional stability and rated for extreme hail rockwool stone wool insulation roof boards have meet both the fm severe hail and the ul 2218a standard for impact resistance. While meeting the necessary thermal standards will be a driving factor in the overall design occupants of these loft living spaces are often exposed to high levels of external noise such as air traffic which.

Offering more than warmth rockwool pitched roof insulation also delivers additional peace of mind through its additional advantages of sound protection and exceptional fire resistance. Not only do we withstand hail damage but our roof boards maintain their bond to the roof membrane lowering the likelihood of a catastrophic roof failure. Therefore roof insulation is important when it comes to improving the cooling and energy efficiency of your buildings. A pitch roof in many cases accounts for up to 50 percent of the building envelope.
