Project Details
At Powell Insulations, we’ve become experts in the application of Flat Roof Insulation. Our skilled team is brimming with friendly, knowledgeable, and swift workers. We initiate the process with a completely FREE house call and find the most cost-effective insulation solution for your property. There is also SEAI Grants available to fund this home improvement project, there are some perquisites, that must be done first.
Insulation is fundamentally about retaining as much warmth as possible within a closed space, and through our home improvement services, flat roof insulation is a vital application of this elementary principle. This is typically paired with Attic Insulation, as you will need both the attic and flat roof insulated for a warm home.
A warm flat roof is formed by placing a layer of insulation over the top of the roof structure. Due to the insulation being over the top of the roof, the timber structure beneath is warm, which is why the term ‘Warm Roof’ is formed.
Commonly, Flat Roof Insulation is tied in to Attic Insulation. As a result, the SEAI offer grants of up to €1500 for Attic Insulation in homes in Ireland.
