When it comes to energy efficiency, many homeowners in Kerala focus on windows and walls—but the roof is the biggest source of heat loss. Without proper insulation, up to 25% of a home’s heat can escape through the roof. At Scaffs India, we understand that quality roofing combined with insulation is the key to maintaining comfort, reducing energy bills, and building sustainable homes.
Why Roof Insulation Matters
Heat naturally rises, which means an uninsulated roof becomes a major exit point for warm air during cooler months, and a hotspot for heat entry during summer. Proper insulation:
Prevents Heat Loss – Keeps warm air inside during winter.
Improves Cooling Efficiency – Stops excess heat from entering during Kerala’s hot climate.
Lowers Energy Bills – Reduces dependency on air conditioners and heaters.
Extends Roof Life – Prevents moisture build-up that can damage roofing materials.
Types of Roofing That Work Well with Insulation
At Scaffs India, we offer roofing materials that not only look stunning but also perform exceptionally when paired with proper insulation:
Premium Designer Shingles – Provide durability and a stylish finish while enhancing insulation efficiency.
Architectural Shingles – Known for their thickness and layering, which naturally improves thermal resistance.
Asphalt 3-Tab Shingles – A cost-effective option that can be upgraded with underlayment insulation.
Smart Roofing and Solar Integration
Proper insulation works even better when combined with modern roofing innovations like:
Tejas Borja Solar Roof Tiles – Generate energy while maintaining a thermal barrier.
Borja Tech & Borja Extrem – Clay tiles engineered for both aesthetics and insulation performance.
By combining insulation + advanced roofing systems, homeowners can create energy-smart homes that are sustainable and cost-efficient.
Roof Accessories that Boost Insulation
Insulation works best with proper accessories. At Scaffs India, we offer:
Roofing Accessories – For ventilation, sealing, and waterproofing.
Underlayment solutions – Acting as an extra thermal and moisture barrier.
These prevent thermal bridging and ensure your roof performs at its peak.
