We have all felt the recent increases in energy prices, and with no signs of prices decreasing, Roofers Nottingham are here to explain why a new roof may be a great long term investment for your property.
How does your Roof Impact Heat Loss?
Your roof plays an integral role in keeping your home warm and cosy. When replacing a pitched roof, new insulation is added to the joists or rafters for optimal efficiency; flat roofs typically have their insulation placed above the decking or between ceiling joists. An effectively insulated modern-day roof should prevent any air passing from inside to outside - so if you're noticing energy bills going through the proverbial 'roof', it could be that heat's escaping via poor installation!
A leaky roof can mean more than just a nuisance; it could be compromising the energy performance of your home. When insulation gets wet, its effectiveness as an insulator is significantly diminished – allowing heat to easily escape outside and contributing to cold and damp walls that create ideal conditions for mould growth. All this points towards one thing: investing in better roof maintenance will lead to improved efficiency across the board!
How can a Roof Replacement Help with your Energy Bills?
Roofers Glasgow advise a new roof for your home could be a great investment in the long run. Not only will it protect you from all kinds of weather, but additional insulation can lower energy bills and help pay off its cost over 5-10 years. With an insulated roof, enjoy watertight protection to maintain optimum warmth within while keeping heating costs down - making sure your hard earned money gets put back into action instead of leaking out with heat loss!
Don't let your roof project skimp on regulations - from June 2022, it's essential that all roofs comply with a more rigorous U-Value requirement for new roofs on existing dwellings (0.15W/m²K) and new roofs on new dwellings (0.11W/m²K). Make sure you stay up to date with the latest requirements when planning any repairs or installations so your rooftop remains safe, sound and compliant.
What about solar panels?
Installing solar PV panels alongside a new roof is the ideal time to get your free, clean electricity needs sorted! Not only will you help reduce your carbon footprint, but any excess energy that’s generated can be stored for later or sold back to the National Grid. Get it all done at once and save on scaffolding costs too - don't miss out on this amazing opportunity; think of how much money (and environmental protection) you could gain!
Investing in a roof replacement from Roofers Glasgow could prove to be one of the wisest decisions you make. With the cost of energy rising, having friendly professionals on your side not only provides peace-of-mind but also ensures that saving money on bills is at your fingertips!
