Roof Auckland Advises on Keeping Your Home Warm & Dry in Winter

Winter is here again, so it’s time to get active and ensure that your roof is up to standard with its insulation. It's important for your family's health that your house is warm and dry, particularly during the winter months, as cold and damp homes are linked to poor health, especially for babies and small children.

When it comes to heat, around 25% is lost through the roof. This can be easily reduced by installing 25cm of insulation, and it’s also worth seeing what’s going on in your walls, as around a third of the heat in an uninsulated home is lost this way. Insulating your roof is a simple and effective way to reduce heat loss and reduce your heating bills.

Insulation is the best way to keep your house warm and save on heating costs, and the New Zealand government has subsidies available in many parts of the country to help landlords and homeowners save hundreds of dollars on ceiling and floor insulation, draught stopping and hot water cylinder wraps. The Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority offers EnergyWise Home Grants which are targeted at people with low incomes and cover all houses built before 2000.

It is your roof that's protecting you and the things you value from the unpredictable weather, and Roof Auckland specialise in re-roofing all styles of Auckland homes. They will install longrun Colorsteel or ColorCote, so you can relax knowing you're well covered for many years to come.

With effective insulation, your home will be warmer when it's cool and cooler when it's warm. Ceiling insulation is the key, and Roof Auckland can install all your ceiling insulation, and if your home has a skillion roof (one with little ceiling space) the very best time to do it is while you are re-roofing, so for more information on colour steel roofing, roofing specialists Auckland and roofing & re-roofing colour ranges please go to https://www.roofauckland.nz/ .
