Preparing Your Roof for Winter in Ireland
As the Irish winter approaches, homeowners and contractors face the yearly challenge of protecting roofs against heavy rain, strong winds, and sudden temperature drops. A well-prepared roof not only prevents costly leaks but also improves energy efficiency during the colder months.
1. Roofing Membranes & Felts
High-quality membranes, such as Eurovent roofing underlays, act as a critical barrier against moisture and wind. They’re lightweight, easy to install, and provide added durability during stormy weather.
2. GRP / Fibreglass Systems
Flat roofs are particularly vulnerable in winter. Our ResTec Flexitec 2020 GRP roofing kits provide a seamless, waterproof finish that’s highly resistant to frost and standing water.
3. Sealants, Adhesives & PU Foams
Cold weather can expose gaps and cracks. To prevent this we have a range of Sealants, Adhesives and PU Foams you can choose from.
4. Roof Ventilation & Airtightness
Condensation inside your roof structure can be just as damaging as external rain. Install our roof vents and airtightness systems to keep moisture under control and maintain healthy airflow.
6. Gutters & Leaf Guards
Blocked outlets and gutters can lead to overflow and ice buildup. Installing our Universal Flexible Leaf Guard helps keep drainage systems clear throughout winter.
