Day 562: Roof insulation

To insure proper thermal insulation of the roof, we opted to use 100mm thick glasswool insulation. The insulation was placed on top of the steel purlins and covered with the roof sheets. We chose a product which consists of a combination of naturally occurring minerals such as silica sand and 80% recycled glass. The thick insulation will prevent heat transfer through the roof, therefore inhibiting heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.
