Ever wonder why some roofs in town are clear of snow in the winter and some have a blanket? The answer is usually roof insulation. The more well-insulated the house, the more the heat conserved, and the snowier the roof. A well-insulated roof also means lower electric bills, reduced carbon footprint, and better air quality in the home. Roofing insulation is so important to home efficiency and safety, even more than in other parts of the home. This is why the standard heat resistance value (R-value) for a wall is R-19, but a roof is R-30 or R-40. The higher the number, the more resistant the material is to transferring heat.
