How to put up insulation pitched roof.

The roof slopes between the rafters. If it is a loft pitched roof or simply the attic you are going to use often for example to store something then it is better to insulate the eaves themselves i e. The bottom of the insulated plasterboard should meet the floor level of the roof space. So it is very important that the roof is well thermally insulated in order to stop heat.

The process of insulation depends on the roof type. If 180mm is to be installed then 100mm board might be introduced between the rafters there has to be a minimum 25mm air gap between the insulation and the underside of the tiles or slates with an 80mm board running across the rafters. Kingspan with a warm roof the usual process is to split the insulation into two layers. In the case of a cold roof structure the insulation is placed between or between and under the rafters or at ceiling joist level and the roof is ventilated by leaving a 50mm gap above the insulation which vents air to the outside.

After cutting the plasterboard to width so that it fits between horizontal centres of rafters screw the insulated plasterboard to the rafters. It is also an element through which a large amount of thermal energy is transferred if not insulated properly. Stagger the horizontal joins.
