How to insulate a bungalow roof.

The correct method for a flat roof is under the current regulations to have a warm roof. In the green areas filling between the timbers to full depth with celotex kingspan and in the blue areas leaving a 50mm gap between the roof and the top of the celotex kingspan. The materials used to insulate under the roof include batts of mineral or glass wool insulation held in place by battens of wood attached to and across the rafters alternatively polystyrene. I have a 4 bedroom waites dormer chalet style house think of a very large bungalow with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom built into the roof.

At present the flat ceiling and the upright walls are insulated with a mixture of 100mm mineral wool and celotex the sloping part of the ceiling has none. The top loft is lined with some form of brown paper and then there s a section of tile joist sloping ceiling that is cold and at the bottom is a crawl space in the eaves at 1st floor level that is just tiles. Insulating the roof walls of a dormer chalet style house. Then insulating the roof and ground floor.

How can the sloping roof of a chalet bungalow roof be insulated. These rooms are very cold the walls are just boarded. If you want to add insulation to the walls of your timber framed bungalow then it should either be fixed to the very outside of the walls. It s possible to see the tiles as there s no felt under them.

The best way would involve pulling the plasterboard off in both the green and blue areas. Anyone with a dormer room automatically qualifies for a minimum grant of 1100 00 towards the cost of fully insulating the dormer room to bring it up to current day standards. What can be done the rafters are 100mmx50mm and covered obviously in plasterboard and plaster. Roof insulation cost roof insulation is the same as loft insulation.

Generally speaking a bungalow home is a single family residence usually only one story or with a second story built into a sloping roof with dormer windows. Dormer roof insulation funding available to all. If you own a bungalow or are considering building one one of the most important things to consider is how your home should be insulated. You would only do this however if replacing the roof covering on top and you have the height above the roof to do this.

In a nutshell you would sandwich 130mm of solid insulation between two decks allowing to place a vapour barrier on top of the first deck.
