The roof insulation is mainly for the top floor and self-built houses of commercial houses. The insulation layer is not designed. The temperature in the summer is very high. In order to have a comfortable living environment in summer, it is necessary to use insulation materials and some insulation. Method, today we will introduce what is generally available for roof insulation and what are the simple and effective methods besides using insulation.

First, the roof insulation materials commonly used

1, polystyrene board

Polystyrene board is divided into expanded polystyrene board and extruded polystyrene board. Expanded polystyrene board is also called EPS board, the insulation effect is very good, the price is not expensive, but the strength is not very good. Extrusion polystyrene board is also called XPS board, the price will be more expensive than expanded polystyrene board, but not only the heat preservation effect is good, but also has good moisture resistance and high strength effect.

2, rock wool board

The insulation of this material is not very good, but it is waterproof and flame retardant.

3, rubber powder polyphenyl granule insulation slurry

The insulation effect of this material is not very good, and the construction technology is also highly demanded. However, the flame retardant performance is good and can be recycled as waste.

4, polyurethane foam material

This material not only has good thermal insulation effect, but also has good waterproof performance. It is most suitable for roof waterproofing and heat insulation, but the price will be slightly more expensive.

Second, simple and effective insulation method

1, air circulation insulation

Set up a 30-40cm high mezzanine on the roof as a buffer zone for hot air, avoiding hot air entering the room directly through the floor, which can also reduce the heat in the room.

2, water insulation method

Designing a swimming pool on the roof to withstand the high temperatures of summer, not only can it be insulated, but also swim on the roof? But this method must ensure that your waterproof work is done well.

3, white paper reflection method

We know that white has the effect of reflecting all the light. If a layer of white paper is placed on the top of the building, part of the light can be reflected back, and it is not easy to clean and dirty.

4, planting method

Designing the roof into a garden, planting green plants, flowers, or vegetables on it is a good choice, not only to absorb heat, but also to beautify the environment for your own viewing.

5, ceramsite concrete insulation method

It is also a good method to lay a layer of ceramsite concrete on the roof, which can effectively reduce the indoor temperature, and also has waterproof and moisture-proof functions. It is one of the commonly used insulation methods.

After looking at the insulation materials and insulation methods of the roof, did you find your own insulation method?
