Roof insulation at home

Experts believe that up to 20% heat loss of the house falls on the non -insulated roof.

Less heat loss in houses with pitched roofs, especially having an attic or attic, most of all, flat roofs lose heat. Easier to insulate the roof of the pitched type. For this, fireproof durable material withstanding a long service life is selected.

The material should not give shrinkage, otherwise the resulting gaps between the heater slabs form the so -called «cold bridges». Such material is light plates or fiberglass mats — it meets the requirements for thermal insulation characteristics of the roof roofs.

The modern construction market offers a significant number of different heaters. Glass wool and expanded clay are considered traditional, more modern — polymer and mineral wool materials.

Experts advise using stoves from stone basalt wool — this is non -combustible, environmentally friendly and high -tech reliable insulation. You can buy a similar heater of isouruf and in bulk in Moscow in the company.

Thermal insulation is mounted inside the supporting frame — between the rafters. The ventilation air gap of 25 mm wide is left between the roofing and insulation to remove the resulting moisture.
