There are many parts of both commercial and residential buildings that require insulation. Each part will be insulated according to the exact needs of the area, including the right amount and type of insulation to prevent air leaks and provide optimal benefits for your building. One of those parts is the roof. Here is what you should know about roof insulation.
- Why do you need it? Even the best constructed and installed roof can have small gaps in it that can create air leaks. This might result in decreased energy efficiency for your building and insufficient heating and cooling. Roof insulation can be used to fill such cracks and gaps and prevent such air loss.
- What type is used? There are many options available for roof insulation, and all of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. We at Masterseal Insulation can assess your roof and needs to make an honest recommendation for which insulation type will be best for your roof and building.
- How can you tell if you need new insulation? Building codes often list the required amount of roof insulation for the building, but this isn’t always followed, or you may have older insulation that needs to be replaced after years of regular wear and tear. We can assess your current insulation for your roof and help determine whether you need a replacement or not. We can also provide the necessary replacement and installation as necessary.
