What is Roof Sisalation/Insulation?

Roof sisalation involves using an insulation material below the roof to seal the room from the radiant heat. Sisalation allows buildings and storage containers to remain at relatively constant temperature both in hot and cold seasons.

The most common uses of sisalation in Kenya is on domestic houses, commercial buildings and shipping containers. The most common method of roof insulation in Kenya involves the use of polyethylene foam. Polyethylene insulation foam has low thermal conductivity which reduces, thus a perfect product for heat insulation. In addition, the polyethylene foam is coated with aluminium foil to enable further reflection of heat thus increasing its efficiency. The thicker the foam, the better it is in insulation. Additionally, polyethylene has acoustic properties thus also helps in noise reduction on the metal roofs.
