How Does Home Insulation Work?

Contents

Shelby Roofing And Talk About InsulationThe thermal insulation of the house can be installed on the interior or on the exterior, including the floor and the ceiling. For increased efficiency, it must take into account the dew point.

Thermal insulation is required because the outer walls of a building represent a wide exterior area, and conventional construction materials – concrete, brick, wood etc.- are not sufficient to guarantee adequate thermal comfort and energy efficiency. In the absence of thermal insulation, you lose much of the amount of heat produced for indoor heating, which is easy to notice during the cold season.

A good insulation of the walls will make the interior more comfortable and the energy bills will be significantly smaller. This is true not just for the cold season, when energy is needed for heating, but also for the summer, when you turn on the air conditioning to keep the heat outside.  It is important as well to have the attic insulated properly from a Shelby roofing professional to keep from loosing heat through your roof, and to keep cold out.

In order to get the best results in terms of thermal insulation, it is good to inform right from the project stage of the house construction if the chosen building materials are the most suitable to provide energy efficiency. As such, you will find, for example, that brick has a better heat transfer efficiency than many other materials.

Insulation can also be applied to old buildings on existing walls.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
