roof insulation
Ceiling thermal barrier
Roof insulation is material installed in or under a roof to reduce heat transfer between a building's interior and the outside.
It keeps buildings warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing energy costs.
Common materials include fiberglass batts, blown-in cellulose, spray foam, and rigid foam boards.
The contractor recommended adding roof insulation before winter.
