How Does Ceiling Insulation Work?

Ceiling or Roof insulation is one of the easiest
ways to reduce heat lost in your home and save
energy. But, do you know how it works? No, then
lets find it out. The most common types of
insulation are blanket insulation and loose fill
insulation. Ceiling insulation is made of fluffy
fibrous materials, that are good at trapping air
in it. This air, is a rally bad conductor, and so
reduces the amount of conduction going on. Since
the air is essentially trapped, there is little
opportunity for it to move, and so there is
little convection going on. That is how
insulation works. Heat moves through a roof in
three ways. Each has a different impact on
building performance and the options available
to control it. Conduction It occurs within solid
materials and between solid materials in
physical contact. This is the most intuitive path
of heat transfer. Convection It occurs within
gases and liquids as a combined result of heat
conduction within the gas or liquid and the
movement of these substances. For insulation,
that means air gaps, entrapped or latent
moisture and wind uplift/negative
pressure. Radiation It occurs independently of
solids, gases and liquids, such as when sunlight
heats a roof or heat radiates outward from a
building at night.
