Warm Pitched Roof -v- Cold Pitched Roof

Quazzie · 2010-02-18 10:08:46

What are the major criteria for each type of roof and is there any major benefit to either. Cost wise I'd imagine Cold pitched roof to be the cheaper of the two, but is that the only benefit? Does a warm pitched roof justify the extra expense? Cold Pitched Roof Warm Pitched Roof

Yes - it is more effective thermally to keep the structure warm . The timbers do not get exposed to freezing temps ever

Also bear in mind that elec cables must not be sandwiched in between insulation layers - ever . Look at the cold roof diagram - and figure that out
