Room-in-Roof (RIR)
)
The SWIP Room In Roof (RIR) System is designed to be used as an insulated dry lining for room-in-roof applications in new and existing dwellings or buildings.
A quarter of heat is lost through the roof in an uninsulated home. Insulating your loft, attic or flat roof is an effective way to reduce heat loss and reduce your heating bills.
If you want to use your loft as a living space, or it is already being used as a living space, then it is important to make sure that all the walls and ceilings between a heated room and an unheated space are insulated.
Sloping ceilings can be insulated in the same way as for a warm roof, but with a layer of plasterboard on the inside of the insulation.
Vertical walls can be insulated in the same way.
Flat ceilings can be insulated like a standard loft.
It is important to make sure that all the areas of the wall and ceiling around any dormer window are insulated, and that you use high-performance glazing for the window or for any skylights.
