Roof insulation à Ixelles
Insulation of pitched roofs and lofts, from the inside or as sarking. In Ixelles we are mainly called for two things: the zinc work on the old grand town houses — dormers, valleys, domes, junctions against the neighbouring facade — and the flat roofs of post-war blocks, where it is the managing agent who decides and the paperwork takes longer than the job.

What that changes here
The Brussels loft is narrow, tall and awkward to get to; everything goes up by hand through the stairwell. In a subdivided building there is also the question of who pays for what. Technically we watch above all the airtightness around the dormer and the junction against the party wall: those are the two places where damp comes back.
Around the ponds and in the Louise district is the most carefully built stock in the city: grand town houses from the late 19th century, Art Nouveau, natural slate, zinc dormers and a great deal of detail work. Further out, the 1960s apartment blocks and their flat roofs dominate. Two worlds, two techniques.

Ixelles porte le code postal 1050 et se situe in the Brussels-Capital Region. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 12 km : nous y planifions l’isolation de toiture en même temps que les chantiers de Brussels, Uccle et Forest, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Pour un devis, la visite à Ixelles se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 12 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Brussels ou Uccle, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; l’isolation de toiture n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
The Flemish and Brussels grants change every year and depend on your situation, the dwelling and the contractor. We supply the invoices and technical data sheets required; the application is made to the relevant body. We do not quote amounts that will no longer be valid in six months.
For a pitched roof, aim for 18 to 24 cm of mineral wool or PIR depending on the material, to meet the requirements in force. In an existing roof structure the space between rafters is limited: you then add a second layer under the rafters, crossing the joints.
