The advantages of installing insulation here is the increase in living space, the elimination of condensation on roof surfaces during cold temperatures, and also reduced requirements for heating and cooling capacities.
The roof insulation must be installed dry and be kept in this state until it has reached or exceeded its lifetime. When installing board and batt type roof insulation, gaps should not be left as they minimize roof insulation effectiveness. Other factors influencing roof insulation effectiveness include temperature cycling, vibrations, and other similar mechanical forces. The functionality of your roof membrane is also crucial. If you cannot install roof insulation correctly, you will seriously impair its efficiency. If you are unsure of how to insulate roof applications, contact Roof 101 to work with a professional.
