In an uninsulated home a quarter of your heat is lost through the roof. Roof insulation is a simple and effective way to reduce your heating bills and protect your roof.
There are many different types of roof insulation including fibreglass, cellulose fibre and foam. Polyurethane is one of the most common types of foam insulation. Some foam insulation is rigid, cut to size and put into the correct place under the roof. However, this is easiest to do while building the house. The most convenient form of polyurethane roof insulation is polyurethane spray foam as not only is it a convenient form of roof insulation to apply, but it is also four times stronger than fibreglass.
Polyurethane spray foam is sprayed directly to the underside of the slates and tiles, covering the battens, but not the joists, rafters or purlins. The spray foam system can also be used on roofs with underfelt (if the felt is removed). Using polyurethane spray foam is difficult to use as part of a DIY project, as it is hard to tell how much foam you have used until it expands. Use too much, and you may have to start over, wasting a lot of expensive polyurethane foam in the process.
