Retrofitting insulation under existing metal roofing involves lifting the roof sheets, installing insulation blankets or panels between the purlins, and securing them before re-fixing the metal. This approach improves energy efficiency without requiring a complete roof replacement.
What Is Retrofitting Roof Insulation and Why Does It Matter?
Retrofitting involves installing insulation under an existing roof structure without removing the entire roof system. Tomkat Roofing specialists use a proven process that requires careful lifting of metal sheets to access the roof cavity and purlin framework.
