How to Cut Roof Insulation Boards?

There are lots of different ways that you can cut roof insulation boards to size. Most boards can usually be cut with a simple utility knife, although you can also use a manual or electronic saw in a safe construction environment. We recommend cutting insulation boards in a dedicated construction space that is both spacious and organised. You should always contact a professional when cutting insulation materials. They will have up-to-date training and can recommend the best techniques for your specific insulation needs.

Are Roof Insulation Boards Waterproof?

Although PIR rigid foam board is typically water-resistant, it is not entirely waterproof. You should avoid exposing PIR boards to rain or installing them in applications where they will be exposed to water.

How Do Roof Insulation Panels Work?

Roof insulation panels reduce heat transfer between the interior and exterior of a building. They create a barrier that limits the movement of heat, helping to maintain a stable indoor temperature.

What Types of Materials Are Used In Roof Insulation Panels?

Roof insulation panels can be made from various materials such as expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), polyisocyanurate (PIR), and mineral wool. Each material offers different thermal properties and benefits.
