Flat Roof Insulation Cork
Flat roof insulation is becoming increasingly important. The better the insulation in your roof then the more energy you save. There are two recognised ways of insulating flat roofs. If the flat roof is part of a new build project it should to be built with insulation. If you are interested in saving money on your energy bills, keeping your heat in as well as reducing your carbon footprint, then get a quote for flat roof insulation.
A roof that’s not properly insulated could be letting up to 35% of your homes heat escape, which means its costing you money. Many flat roof extensions in Ireland are poorly insulated. Quite often they are not insulated at all. This lack of insulation is costing the Irish homeowner a fortune!
The Benefits Of Roof Insulation
Insulating your roof, especially in residential properties, is very common in the present times. Irrespective of the roofing system that you have installed in your property, insulation can go a long way in providing long term benefits that that you cannot ignore. Though opting for roof insulation may add to your initial expenses, you will make savings in the long term. Therefore, if you are someone with foresight, insulating your roof will make sense.
Energy savings
Since insulation helps to keep the home at room temperature, your AC’s and heaters do not have to work as much as they would need to otherwise. This automatically helps you save a lot of energy and in turn helps you save a significant amount on energy bills. Naturally, by insulating your roofs, you get to save a lot in the long run.
Heat retention
For areas that see significantly lower temperatures during the year, making your house comfortable and cozy is very important. Naturally, most people opt for fireplaces or heaters to keep their homes warm. However, without an insulated roof, this will only end up costing more long term, as heat gradually escapes the house through the roof.

Added protection
Another benefit of having your roof insulated is having an additional layer of protection. Depending on the type of insulating material that you choose, roof insulation will be able to protect your roof from the onslaught of the natural elements over years of exposure.
Can My Flat Roof be Insulated?
Most old flat roofs can be insulated however sometimes the cost becomes restrictive, take an example of a flat roof that got a bedroom under it and above a balcony opens up onto the flat roof, the step of the door out onto the roof is only 50mm above the existing roof.
In this instance to place roof insulation over the roof to form a warm roof would mean moving the door, and to remove the ceilings down below to add roof insulation and ventilation would devastate the room below. If building control is involved they should be lenient and deem the roof as “hard to insulate” and not enforce the building regulation.
