Roof insulation and retrofitting

Thermal insulation and roof upgrades are important building interventions. They ensure both comfort and safety. At Toiture Couvreur Laval, we offer specialized services in these areas. The aim is to ensure both energy performance and compliance with current regulations.

Roof insulation

Insulating the roof is essential to ensure a building’s thermal comfort. This is especially important in countries with harsh winters like Canada. It has numerous impacts:

Reduced heat loss ;
Lower energy bills;
Prevent ice formation on the roof.

Good insulation keeps the heat in when it’s cold outside. Conversely, it keeps the interior cool when it’s hot outside. At the same time, the building’s carbon footprint is reduced. For insulation to be effective, it’s essential to choose the right materials. In addition, spaces must be perfectly sealed to avoid thermal bridges. Other parameters may also come into play. These include the thickness of the insulation and the quality of the building’s ventilation.

Bringing roofs up to standard

This involves adapting a roof to meet the latest regulatory requirements. These may relate to a number of points:

Safety ;
Durability;
Energy efficiency.

First, a diagnosis is carried out. Depending on the results, various types of work are undertaken to bring the system up to standard. Here are the most common :

Improved thermal insulation ;
Adjusting the drainage system ;
Replacement of materials.

The materials used have to withstand Canada’s harsh climatic conditions.

Roof maintenance

Roofing requires rigorous maintenance. This is essential to maintain the performance of the structure and its insulation. In concrete terms, inspections and maintenance must be scheduled periodically. This allows us to identify faults, undertake any necessary repairs and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. With preventive maintenance, you can avoid costly repairs in the future. What’s more, the roof’s lifespan is extended. In any case, any intervention requires precise technical skills. At Toiture Couvreur Laval, we put specialists at your disposal. They have the know-how and equipment needed to carry out roofing and insulation work.
