Roof insulation à Zaventem
Insulation of pitched roofs and lofts, from the inside or as sarking. In Zaventem it is striking how many enquiries concern what sits under the tiles.
9 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
On the periphery a lot of owners insulate the roof themselves, and that is where we find the most damage: insulation pushed up against the roofing underlay, no air gap at all, a vapour barrier full of gaps. We put the ventilation right first, the insulation after.
Zaventem lives with the airport: over the decades many houses have had extra insulation and acoustic work carried out in the roof. That work was not always done carefully, and we regularly find a crushed air gap or a missing vapour barrier.
What we get called out for in Zaventem
In Zaventem it is striking how many enquiries concern what sits under the tiles. Over the years many roofs have had an extra layer of insulation or acoustic work; we get called when damp gets involved. Alongside that, the ordinary work: gutters, roof windows and slopes at the end of their life.
Zaventem porte le code postal 1930 et se situe in the northern periphery of Brussels. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 9 km : nous y planifions l’isolation de toiture en même temps que les chantiers de Kraainem, Machelen et Wezembeek-Oppem, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Pour un devis, la visite à Zaventem se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 9 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Kraainem ou Machelen, 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.
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.
In most cases, yes: the insulation is fitted from the inside. Sarking — insulation laid over the roof structure, under the tiles — is only justified if the roof has to be redone anyway. In that case it is the best solution, and the question comes up before the tiles are ordered.
