Hi,
I’m looking at budget friendly ways of insulating my patio roof as the heat in summer kills through it.
Hi @Jsuth19,
I'd recommend you take a look at this discussion: How to insulate a metal roof by @bowmatty. Although their reason for insulating was to prevent condensation, their method is also applicable to prevent heat transfer. Installing Foilboard is a fast and effective way to easily insulate a roof and will make a significant difference to your patio area. Alternatively, as you have the depth of your beams to work with, you could use traditional Earthwool insulation and clad over it with plasterboard.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
