A common summer question: “the roof is heating up the space.” The good news is that the fix usually lies in the right choice from the start.
1. Choose multiwall, not solid
The air channels in multiwall sheets are a natural insulator — the thicker the sheet, the better the insulation.
2. Choose a heat-reducing colour
Opal and bronze significantly reduce heat gain compared with clear.
3. Allow ventilation
Leave vents or a gap between roof and wall so hot air can escape, especially in enclosed halls and carports.
4. Raise the roof and increase the slope
A higher roof keeps hot air away from people, and slope helps air move.
If the space is used all day, talk to us before choosing: we will recommend the thickness and colour that balance light and heat.
