The 3 essentials of perfect roof insulation and ventilation

What is the connection between attic insulation and roof covering? Insulation affects the lifespan of your roofing... hence its significance!

Bulletproof Roof Insulation

If you have a spacious attic, it's relatively easy for you to have an effective insulation concept. However, if you have cathedral ceilings with lower slopes, the efficiency of your insulation system must be bulletproof, as the margin for error is slim, and damage to your roof covering can be substantial.

The typical insulation consists of a vapor barrier membrane on the interior side of the dwelling, continuous insulating material and an air space above the insulation.

The steps may seem straightforward, but each one must be executed meticulously to avoid any issues.

The vapor barrier prevents moisture from the house from migrating into the insulating material. However, to be effective, it must be continuous and unperforated.

The choice of insulation type depends on the size of the space to be insulated. The insulation must also be continuous and fill all the corners.

Air Circulation Above the Insulation The air space is also essential for proper roof insulation. It must be maintained at a temperature as close as possible to the exterior temperature.
