  1. Why is the correct insulation of the roof so important? Why is the correct insulation of the roof so important? The right execution of the insulation gives the room under a pitched roof its quality of living. An uninsulated and not airtight roof is far too hot in summer and far too cold in winter to be inhabited. The insulation materials work in both directions: in winter they keep the heat in the house, in summer they prevent the heat from penetrating. Insulation required by law In addition to the advantages for residential use, adequate thermal insulation is also required by law via the Building Energy Act (GEG). Only a certain, very small amount of heat loss is permitted through the roof. Not only those who build from scratch, but also those who modernize their roofs, have to meet these strict requirements. This is only possible with efficient insulation of sufficient thickness. In most cases, a combination of between and under-rafter insulation is ideal for renovation, as these forms can be installed from the inside without having to open the roof from the outside. The so-called above- rafter insulation is used in new buildings the state of the art. The insulation lies on the rafters under the roofing, does not take up any living space and does not allow any thermal bridges in the roof.

  2. Airtightness is just as important as insulation It is important that the roof is not only insulated, but also made airtight and windproof with a vapor barrier and an underlay. Otherwise, the wind hitting the roof could create suction, which would cause heat to be lost to the outside through cracks and joints in the roof. Insulation is also a must for flat roofs Even more important than with a pitched roof is the insulation on a flat roof. Because while on a pitched roof any moisture that may occur can escape through leaks, a flat roof usually consists of a solid reinforced concrete ceiling. Without insulation, it cools down to such an extent that moisture from the room air condenses on the ceiling even at comparatively low room temperatures. Whether steep or flat - the right and adequate insulation is the be-all and end-all for a roof. This job is risky if you do not have any experience. So we recommend to hire professionals.
