| The Project |
To insulate roof to 0.16 WmēK and
stabilise tiles. |
| |
|
| The Problem: |
This older traditional style roof was
suffering from a lack of insulation
and a very draughty roof space, with
the added issue of tile
movement, due to nail fatigue. |
| |
|
| The Solution: |
Firstly, the external roof defects were made good. All rafters and beams were then taped and masked, then DurathermŪ rigid polyurethane foam insulation was sprayed between the rafters, directly onto the tiles.
Additional insulation to be placed between the joists at ceiling level, then boarded over with loft floor boarding. |
| |
|
| The Result: |
A fully insulated and stabilised roof to current Building Regulations, reducing energy
costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The foam sealed roof created a dust free,
cleaner environment. Additional floor storage area will also be created. |
