Pitched Roof Insulation Building Regulations In Walton-On-Thames

The UK Building Regulations requires that all newly constructed or refurbished pitched roofing structures should have a minimum thermal resistance (‘U-value') of 0.18 W/m2K for their insulation layers, to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency in the home. As such, when installing pitched roofs Walton-OnThames residents must ensure they choose materials with this performance rating; common options include rigid foam panels installed between rafters, pumpable cellulose cavity fillings at insulating where it is difficult to fit boards into eaves components etc., forming a blanket layer beneath slates tiles and other coverings providing improved heat conservations benefits over more traditional mineral fibre based options. In some instances further forms of vapour control might be necessary depending on the specific construction approach being undertaken.
