The secret to good insulation is in choosing the materials and the installation. Because good insulation is more than just the material used. Without a good sub-roof and moisture barrier, the insulation is worthless.
The sub-roof
- protects insulation against snow and rain
- must be waterproof
- also protects against wind
- increases the insulation value of the roof
The insulation material
Various insulation materials are suitable for a sound insulation of your attic floor or sloping roof.
The moisture barrier
- serves as a finishing layer above the insulation material
- is an airtight protective layer that prevents damp air from penetrating the insulation
- has perfect glued seams and is attached to the walls with an adhesive
- is very important: if damp air condenses in insulation, it reduces the insulation value of the material.
