Roof Insulation

Why insulate your roof and ceiling?

A properly insulated roof makes a huge difference to comfort and energy costs. In summer, roof spaces can reach 60°C or more, and without effective roof insulation that heat transfers directly into your home. In winter, the reverse happens — valuable warmth escapes through the roof.

Most of this heat transfer occurs because solar energy heats the roof surface, which then transfers heat into the roof space through conduction, convection and radiant heat. That high roof temperature is what drives heat into (or out of) your living areas.

Spray foam insulation tackles the problem at the source.

Roof Insulation

ceiling insulation

Spray foam is one of the most efficient insulation materials available for roofs. When applied to the underside of the roof, it prevents the roof space from being exposed to extreme temperatures. This can reduce roof-related heat transfer by up to 50%.
Because conduction and convection are driven by temperature differences, lowering the roof surface temperature significantly reduces heat flow into the building.

Ceiling Insulation

Ceiling insulation works alongside roof insulation by stopping any remaining heat or cold from moving into the living space.
It also:

  • Prevents warm air escaping into the roof space in winter
  • Reduces cool air loss during summer
  • Improves overall energy efficiency year-round

Using both roof and ceiling insulation provides the best performance and comfort.

Benefits of Spray Foam Roof Insulation

  • Reduces duct leakage and heat loss or gain from ducting
  • Creates an effective air seal at roof level
  • Prevents dust and loose insulation migrating into living areas
  • Lowers heating and cooling costs
  • Keeps attic and roof spaces at more stable temperatures

With spray foam insulation, the top of the building envelope becomes tighter, reducing unwanted air movement and moisture infiltration. This leads to improved comfort, better energy efficiency, and long-term cost savings.

Planning a roof space conversion?

If you’re planning to convert your roof space into a room, this is the ideal time to install spray foam insulation. Insulating the roof during conversion ensures maximum comfort and energy efficiency for years to come.
