WHY THE HEAT?
Why Does So Much Heat Enter Through the Roof?
The roof receives the most direct sunlight. Heat travels indoors through the roofing material and radiation.

DEFINITION
What Is Roof Heat Insulation?
Roof heat insulation is a layer installed beneath a roof to slow heat from entering the room. In practice, the terms heat barrier, roof insulation, and thermal roof insulation are often used interchangeably.
They share the same purpose, but their materials and mechanisms can differ: some reflect radiation, while others resist conduction with foam, fiber, or mineral layers.
roof heat barrier=roof insulation=thermal insulation
One goal: reduce heat entering through the roof. Choose the system that fits your building and needs.
APPLICATIONS
For Buildings Whose Roofs Work Hard
Warehouse
Wide roofs and large spans. Helps keep storage and operational areas more comfortable.
PRIORITYFactory
Hot work environments affect teams and processes. Roof insulation helps reduce heat from above.
PRIORITYWorkshop
High-activity work areas with machinery and metal roofs that heat up quickly.
PRIORITYHome
For roof renovations or rooms beneath a roof that feel too hot.
Commercial Building
Shops, showrooms, and commercial facilities with metal roofing.

Aluminium Foil
The reflective layer helps reflect radiant heat from the roof.
Together, material heat + radiation are handled in one system.

Heat Insulation for Spandek & Galvalume Roofs
Metal roofs absorb and conduct heat quickly. Insulation is therefore highly relevant for warehouses, workshops, factories, and other buildings that use spandek or galvalume roofing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good roof heat insulation?
It depends on the roof type, span, and project needs. For warehouses and factories, an XLPE foam + aluminium foil system combines material heat resistance with radiant heat reflection. Consult us to choose the right solution.
What is the difference between a heat barrier and roof insulation?
Both refer to reducing heat entering through the roof. Heat barrier is a more general term, while roof insulation is more technical. The materials and mechanisms may differ.
Can heat insulation be used on spandek roofs?
Yes. Spandek and galvalume roofs are common on warehouses, workshops, and factories, and are typical roof-insulation applications.
What roof insulation thickness is ideal?
As a guide: 5 mm for renovations or light needs, 8 mm for warehouses and commercial buildings, and 10 mm for factories and heavier applications.
How much insulation is needed for 100 m²?
With 1 × 25 m rolls (±25 m²), 100 m² needs about 4 rolls, plus a 5–10% installation allowance (approximately 5 rolls). Use the calculator above for other areas.
Is insulation suitable for warehouses and factories?
Yes. Their wide roofs receive substantial heat from above, making roof insulation relevant for a more comfortable work area.
