Roof Insulation

Roof insulation is a technique where insulation material is applied to the inside or outside of the roof with the primary aim of reducing heat loss and improving living comfort. There are various methods and materials available for roof insulation.

Why Roof Insulation?

The main purpose of roof insulation is to prevent heat loss and create a more comfortable living environment. Installing roof insulation helps to prevent heat from escaping through the roof, thereby maintaining a stable temperature inside the house. This not only results in a more pleasant living environment but also leads to energy savings as there is less need for heating.

Roof Insulation Subsidies; Plus Isolatie assists its customers with subsidy applications

You can receive a subsidy for installing roof insulation. If you opt for only one insulation measure, in this case roof insulation, you can expect a subsidy amount of €15 per square meter. This subsidy amount can also be doubled per square meter. One condition for this doubling is that, in addition to roof insulation, another insulation measure is applied, such as cavity wall insulation, attic floor insulation, or floor insulation. The subsidy amount for roof insulation is determined to be €30 per square meter after doubling. If you install 50 square meters of roof insulation, you can expect a subsidy of €30 x 50 m2 = €1500 after doubling. Plus Isolatie assists its customers with applying for this ISDE subsidy.

Materials for Roof Insulation

Various materials are suitable for roof insulation, depending on factors such as budget, desired insulation value, and roof construction. Plus Isolatie uses the following roof insulation materials:

Roof insulation using Knauf Timberframe glass wool: This insulation material can be blown between your beams as small fibers after a vapor-retardant foil has been stretched on the inside of the roof. Once the insulation material is blown in, the roof can be finished with, for example, plasterboard.

Roof insulation using PIF insulating foil: This insulating foil is suitable for roof insulation from the inside. PIF insulating foil is a flexible insulation material with a high Rd-value. The insulation technicians place the foil precisely against the roof sheathing, making it easy for the customer to apply the finishing, such as installing plasterboard.

Roof insulation using Icynene PUR foam: This insulation material is applied with a spray gun. The application takes place on the inside of the roof. The PUR foam hardens within seconds after it has been applied with a spray gun. Since the foam is initially liquid, it easily penetrates into all cavities, joints, and crevices.

Which material is most suitable for your roof depends on various factors, including roof construction, insulation value, and available space. Request a free and non-binding consultation via the contact form on our website to discuss the possibilities for your roof on location.

Insulation Value of Roof Insulation

The insulation value of roof insulation is expressed in an Rd-value. The higher the Rd-value, the better the roof insulation. Each insulation material has its own Rd-value. The roof insulation applied by Plus Isolatie always has a minimum Rd-value of 3.5. You are eligible for the national ISDE insulation subsidy from an Rd-value of 3.5 or more.
