Bats, a protected species in the UK and playing a major part in the ecosystem, can often be found living in roofs but up until now only bitumen IF felt underlay has been used. If insulation is needed there is a significant cost as extra space is required in the rafters, and in older buildings this is often not an option. An uninsulated IF felt roof can release 10 tonnes of CO2 per year.
Breathable membrane, and additional insulation between rafters, can replace IF felt resulting in reducing CO2 emissions by 57%. This greatly helps the environment, having a large impact on global warming and climate change.
This long-awaited product allows architects and builders to work within the required Building Regulations whilst at the same time protecting bats.
TLX Insulation are the UK’s leading expert in polymer science as well as insulating breather membranes. They invented TLX Batsafe which has a protective mesh, allowing bats to have a safe contact and not become caught within fibres. Some other advantages of TLX Batsafe are that it is much stronger, lighter and easier to install. For more details call your Roofer in Reading.
