Tips of heat insulation in roof installation

Slope roofing has been rising in popularity in recent years, and more and more people are choosing this elegantly shaped form of roofing when building houses back in their hometowns. However, if improper measures are taken during the construction process, it will inevitably lead to poor heat insulation, thermal insulation and waterproofing, resulting in the phenomenon of annual leakage and annual repair, and annual repair and annual leakage. Here are some recommendations for releasing the heat in the process of roof installation before your house building. 

If the roof of a self-built house is not insulated, it is impossible to live on the top floor in the heat of summer, the temperature is too high. There are several common methods of insulating sloping roofs.

1. Overhead insulation

a hollow sandwich of about 30 cm is built on the roof, which can effectively isolate the heat transfer effect when the sun is shining in summer, as there is flowing air underneath.

2. White paper reflection method

Lay a layer of smooth white paper on the roof, usually made of tinfoil, which is not easy to get greasy and can strongly reflect heat insulation.

3. Water insulation method

The roof is set up with a puddle about fifteen centimetres deep, which can effectively and reasonably reduce the indoor temperature, but this method requires a high quality of the roof, and the cost is also relatively higher. 

4. Ceramsite concrete insulation method

In addition to effective heat insulation, towers concrete can also play a very good moisture-proof and waterproof effect, which can greatly reduce the indoor temperature, not only can have a comfortable summer but also can effectively save electricity consumption and reduce the expenditure of electricity.

5. ceramics heat insulation method

Roof tiles can be used to insulate ceramic tiles. When laying block tile is not recommended to choose wet paste, first in the cast-in-place floor to do a good job of insulation and waterproofing after laying the keel, and then add a layer of the roof air layer, so as to achieve in layers under the barrier to cut the impact of hot air on the building indoor environment.

In addition, apart from the tips above, it is suggested that Penthouses are generally uncovered and darker in colour and can easily absorb heat. At this time, if it is not being used, the penthouse can be filled with planters, which will allow the plants to absorb sunlight and reduce the heat absorbed by the top of the house, killing two birds with one stone. Sunscreen can also be built on top of the roof, which will remove some of the sunlight from the hair, and people can rest and cool off underneath.
