Cold attic pitched roof system

Thermal insulation of attic floors of buildings allows you to provide a favorable indoor microclimate by increasing the temperature of the internal surface of the ceiling (ceiling or floor)and reducing the temperature difference between the internal air and the internal surface of the fence.

One of the most common ways to insulate the roof of a private house is to insulate the attic floor. The so – called cold attic. This method is the simplest and fastest. Thermal insulation HOTROCK LIGHT, HOTROCK LIGHT ECO, HOTROCK BLOCK is simply placed on the attic floor on a pre-laid vapor barrier film, which protects the insulation from waterlogging and condensation.

The heat-protective qualities of the attic floor should exclude significant heat loss and condensation of moisture on the ceiling in winter and overheating of the premises in summer.

Since the air movement in the attic is scanty, it is not necessary to additionally mount a wind shield on top of the HOTROK insulation. It is important to observe the following nuances: create a fifty-millimeter ventilation gap around the perimeter of the attic, indent. Such a measure will ensure effective air removal from the cornices. The total thickness and amount of material is calculated based on thermal engineering calculations. The use of the cold attic pitched roof system together with other energy-saving technological solutions can significantly reduce the consumption of electric energy and reduce the cost of heating/cooling the building.
