Complete collection of roof insulation methods

In summer, in hot weather, roof insulation is essential. This paper will introduce you to five common roof insulation methods and three common insulation materials to help you better understand roof insulation.

Air circulation heat insulation method

Create a hollow sandwich about 30 cm for the roof, so that air can flow freely inside. When the sun is exposed in summer, air flow can effectively reduce the roof temperature and bring coolness to your home.

Water insulation method

This method has certain requirements for roof quality, but the effect is remarkable. Shallow water pit, about 15 cm deep, can effectively reduce the indoor temperature, and the operation is simple and practical.

White paper reflection method

The roof is covered with a layer of smooth white paper, that is, tin foil, which is not only difficult to get oil, but also can strongly reflect light and insulate heat, adding a touch of coolness to your roof.

Insulating layer and insulating plate

Lay 10 cm thick pearl sand insulation layer on the roof, and then cover it with cement prefabricated insulation board. For the cast-in-place reinforced concrete roof, a soil layer with a thickness of 20 cm can be deposited on it, which not only beautifies the environment, but also preserves heat and insulation.

Glass fiber reinforced plastic roof

An innovative roof leak-proof and heat insulation method, which covers the whole roof with glass steel plate and bonds it into a whole to provide long-term protection and heat insulation for your roof.

Coil roof

Waterproof materials such as TPO, PVC and EPDM are the main materials in many low-slope commercial roofing systems. In Europe, there are also modified asphalt waterproofing membrane roofs.

Roof tile

Asphalt, glass fiber and wood are common roofing tile materials. Building codes and manufacturers usually require a roof slope of 4/ 12, and a layer of roofing gasket material is used.

Clay and cement tile

Pottery tiles are often used as roofing materials in high-grade houses or places prone to fire. Although the price is high, it is the first choice for many buildings because of its long service life and diverse choices.
