Roof insulation can help stabilize indoor temperatures in mild European climates. A good plan should address heat loss, summer overheating, roof construction, ventilation, and humidity.
Roof Insulation Checklist
- Review the roof assembly and existing insulation.
- Check ventilation paths and moisture.
- Seal uncontrolled air movement.
- Consider summer solar heat gain.
- Select materials suited to local requirements.
Good Practice
Maintain designed ventilation and choose insulation thicknesses appropriate for the roof assembly and local rules.
