Roof insulation involves all the works to be done on the roof, both to protect the building from external influences (wind, rain, snow, solar radiation) and also to ensure comfort and hygiene conditions for its residents.
The insulation of a building is the most important element in its construction, after its static capacity. Read more.
BENEFITS OF INSULATING THE ROOF
- Reducing energy costs in heating, cooling and air conditioning,
- Protection of the components of the building from moisture,
- Protection of residents and assets,
- Pleasant and healthy stay of residents,
- Energy upgrading of the building under the new energy efficiency law (KENAK).
COST – PAY OFF
The cost of the complete insulation of a roof is about 32 -45 € / m2 depending on the combination of the materials, the surface of the roof and the type of insulation (the conventional or inverted).
Paying-off the cost is estimated at 3-6 years depending on the thickness of the insulating layer, local conditions etc.
WHY CLARUS ESCO
Our Company undertakes the construction of insulation on roofs from A to Z and supports you in the funding process. With every roof insulation that we deliver, we provide for free an energy certificate for the building.

Without out proper waterproofing, water can affect the structural elements of the building, oxidize its frame and hence affect its static capacity. In addition, moisture can cause corrosion of the walls , the plaster, the ceilings and serious damage to the objects and property within the building. Even humidity can in fact disaffect the insulation and increase the heat losses of the building. The role of waterproofing is therefore crucial for avoiding humidity problems and ensuring the longevity of a building.
Proper insulation of the roof of a building and generally the proper design of its “shell”, ensures a pleasant stay to the tenants by reducing the energy costs in heating, cooling and air conditioning. The initial higher cost for insulation pays off multiple times during its lifetime. The greater the thickness of insulation in a building, the lower its operating costs, the cost for oil / gas heating and electricity for air conditioning. The insulation is thus really a great investment in a building and should not be treated as a luxury imposed by the regulations.
SPECIFICATIONS
There are two types of roof insulation:
- The conventional insulation and
- The inverted isolation
The difference between the two types is that in the conventional, the insulation is the first to be done, followed by waterproofing, while in the inverted, waterproofing comes first and then the insulation. Generally speaking the inverted one has an advantage because the insulation protects the waterproofing from the external conditions and especially solar radiation which is aging all materials over time.
Because of the large variety of materials and techniques for the insulation of roofs, it is not easy to describe all systems. In any case the potential user should address himself to specialized companies with certified materials and experienced technical staff.
