The growing media, plants, and layers of trapped air in a green roof system serve as excellent sound insulators. Tests have shown that green roofs can reduce indoor sound by as much as 10 decibels for every 3 inches of growth media, providing particular benefit to buildings in noise impacted areas, such as those close to airports or industry.

Tile roofs are good insulators. The combined effect of the roof tiles, decking and the air space between the tiles allows for better air circulation and thereby reduces direct heat transfer. This results in lower air conditioning costs in the summer and decreases the formation of ice dams in the winter. BACK TO TOP See similar questions...

Insulation can easily be incorporated beneath the GRP roof structure (in accordance with warm roof/cold roof situations). We create a breathing roof system which allows moisture vapour to vent at the edges without compromising the roof's overall integrity. Larger areas may require the inclusion of roof vents that are easily incorporated into the roof structure. See similar questions...

Green means sustainable and durable. Sustainable takes into consideration the burden on the environment as well as the extended life span of the roof. Since Titan uses recycled material and is recyclable, we work to ease the burden on landfills. Titan’s products are very durable and will outlast asphalt, coated roof coverings, and cedar shakes.

No. Another benefit of the rugged-looking texture is that it actually quiets the rain on your roof. Our roofs' deep-textured folds break up the "pinging" effect you might expect from a flat metal roof. See similar questions...

Absolutely not. We do not employ salespeople in any in any event. A trained surveyor will do the roof survey and a written quotation for the work needed will be posted. A survey on most domestic properties can be completed within 20 minutes. See similar questions...

Sound attenuation, or the limiting of sound propagation from one area to another, requires the application of special and standard insulation materials to encase or enclose the noise generating source, forming a sound barrier between the source and the surrounding area. See similar questions...

No. The shell has to be prepared as a separate operation before you install the kit. Part of the preparation is insulating, sealing, and then plywooding the interior so as to have a completed interior wood skin. See similar questions...

ENERGY STAR® does not include a specification for roof insulation. However, roof insulation plays an important role in reducing building energy consumption for heating and cooling. The higher the R-value, the less heat or conditioned air is lost from the building envelope. See similar questions...

It will depend on ease of access and acessibility, the condition of the roof, the repairs needed, the size of the roof and the depth of foam needed to achive the U value or insulation value required. A typical 1930's semi detached house is usually completed in 1 to 2 days. A a typical large detached house roof with typical problems will usually be completed within 2 to 3 days. An industrial contract can normally be done at the rate of 150 metres per day per sprayer. See similar questions...

It all depends but you can expect to save about 75% of the heat that would otherwise escape from the roof which might translate to a 10 to 40% saving on your heating bills. You will notice a big difference to the comfort of your home in winter due to the excellent roof insulation. Roof insulation has a payback typically between 3 to 10 years depending on the current thermal efficiency of your home. See similar questions...

A reflective insulation reduces radiant heat transfer across air spaces by use of one or more high reflective/low emittance surfaces (Reflectivity of 90% or higher - Emissivity of 10% or less). This rate of heat transfer can be quantified in an R-value (for a specific application). See similar questions...

In the past many timber frame houses did not have insulation put into the internal panels which gave people the impression that this form of construction was noisy. Taylor Lane supply semi-rigid batt insulation to all panels for the client to fit between the studs. Tests have shown that a 90mm internal panel has the same sound reduction qualities as a single block internal wall. See similar questions...

The exterior walls will yield a value of R-21 consisting of R-19 bats, exterior sheeting, siding, drywall and house wrap. The ceilings have blown insulation rating R-41. The basement will have an R-11 insulation. We also install a basic soundproofing package. Top See similar questions...

It depends on the type and size of the greenroof. Most homeowners could check a flat or low pitch greenroof. A roofing professional should if it is too large or intensive – you can include a maintenance agreement of at least twice per year with the greenroof contractor/greenroof company. Or you can work out an arrangement with the roof maintenance staff of your building. See similar questions...

These products are available from either car audio stores, or electronic stores. Do shop around because price varies alot. The effects of this insulation varies with the type of material used and how and where it was installed. Generally, the more you cover up, sometimes even doubling up in certain areas, the greater reduction in noise. See similar questions...
