Save on energy bills with an energy efficient roof

Regular Maintenance: Keep your roof in top condition with regular inspections and repairs. Address damage promptly to prevent heat loss or gain, reducing your heating and cooling bills.
Metal Roofing: Consider metal roofing (e.g., steel or aluminum) for its affordability, durability, and reflective properties. Metal roofs effectively reflect sunlight, keeping your home cooler.
Tiles and Slates: Opt for weather-resistant tiles or slates, which offer longevity and durability. Reclaimed and recycled slates are eco-friendly and help maintain energy efficiency.

In these climate conscious times, many homeowners are looking to incorporate energy efficient features into their properties to make them greener and more cost-effective.

In terms of your roof, there are a number of considerations which can be made to prevent your energy bills going through the ceiling.

Our experts at Abbey Roofing have put together a list of tips which can transform your roof into an energy efficient, cost-effective design.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance must be carried out on your roofing system to ensure it remains in top working order.

A poorly insulated, damaged roof can cause too much heat to enter your home during the summer, whilst allowing the cold, frosty conditions into your property during the winter months.

Thorough inspections of your roof will ensure any damage is quickly detected so it can be rectified as soon as possible without becoming a larger, more costly problem.

That way, your roof will remain in good condition so you do not have to pay hefty heating and cooling bills.

If your roof is suffering from problems which require urgent attention, such as a leak, our specialist team at Abbey Roofing are always on hand to provide emergency roof repairs so you can enjoy total peace of mind that it will be dealt safely and efficiently.

Energy efficient materials

1. Metal roofing

Metal roofing is typically one of the most efficient materials for a new roof. Steel and aluminium are usually the most common materials for metal roofing for a number of reasons, including:

affordability
strength
durability
fire resistance
capacity to withstand harsh weather conditions

A major benefit of metal roofing for an energy efficient home is that they reflect much of the sunlight, preventing the heat from filtering through into your home.

2. Tiles and slates

Tiles and slates are typically very weather resistant, protecting the interior of your home from the harsh conditions outside.

Therefore, they are utilised for their longevity and durable qualities, as well as their resistance to fire, rotting and insects. For added efficiency, slate tiles can be reclaimed and recycled, making them a greener option.

While they require little maintenance, roof tiling and slates can be vulnerable to faults and issues, such as tiles breaking or coming loose. In such situations, our experts at Abbey Roofing are fully trained to replace or repair any damaged roof tiling quickly and efficiently.
