What are the types of roof insulation?
To isolate this important part of the house , whether new or already built some time ago, you should always turn to professionals in the sector. They are the ones who can study the type of roof available, verify the position and then proceed with the appropriate insulation.

Industry professionals will have to assess whether it is a pitched roof or a flat roof, trying to understand the shape of the attic and carry out the appropriate intervention.

If the structure is full of beams, there are some options for intervention, including the installation of material that insulates the roof between them. The panel is covered with plasterboard and then plastered to make it attractive in terms of furnishings. Then the insulation is pushed downwards, trying to enter the space of the beams themselves. Obviously, the panels are custom-designed in wood fiber or rock wool.

If the various modern solutions are not applicable, it will be possible to directly use the cavity between the slab and the ceiling (not visible). A series of insulation processes are implemented directly on the structure, without demolishing the roof and at not very high costs.
