Metal galvanised corrugated sheets for roofs are a great option for many reasons. They’re recyclable, durable, and moderately easy to install. However, metal is a great conductor, which implies it will warm your house during summer but keep it cold during winter. They do not provide adequate protection against heat or cold air by themselves. That’s why you will need to insulate your roof to reduce bills during winter and summer. You need to insulate your metal roof for an energy-efficient home.
Why You Need Insulation During Winter
As mentioned above, metal roofs don’t provide you with proper protection without insulation. You will lose useful cold air or heat, making you more dependent on heaters or air conditioners, which increases your energy bills.
When you install effective insulation for your GC sheet roofs, it protects you from intense heat, rain and cold winds. Insulation also helps reduce noise pollution, which makes your home quieter during fierce winds and heavy rain. Additionally, insulation provides more sturdiness. This can help you pass commercial property assessments by eliminating possible roofing issues.
Factors To Consider Before Galvanised Sheet Roof Insulation
Insulating your home or commercial property offers many benefits. Before you start the process, consider the following factors:
● The Roof’s Condition
The condition of the roof needs to be inspected carefully. Leaks or gaps can make insulation useless, so repairs must be done first. The roof needs to be in good shape before insulation to increase efficiency and the roof’s lifespan.
● Insulating Capability
When choosing insulation material, consider which type suits your needs. Different insulation materials have different heat flow resistance. Depending on your location and climate, you need to choose the material that provides you optimal thermal resistance.
● Budget
There are many types of insulation, which vary in cost. Fix your insulation budget on the material that’s best for you.
Insulating Existing Roof
Assess the metal roof’s bottom side. There will be a sheet of plywood roof decking held up by a frame. The small, horizontal ones are purlins while the large angle beams are called joists. The fibreglass batts fit into the space between the decking and purlins. When the batts are packed tightly, they tend to be less effective. It’s important to fit them loosely.
Insulating New Roof
For a new roof, install plywood to provide structural decking. The wood has to be placed at the right angle to the roof joists and secured with nails. The rigid foam insulation will be installed across the roof’s entire surface. They need to be installed closely but not be overlapped.
