Roof insulation: preparing a Klimabonus application
Published on 31 July 2026 · Verified on 18 September 2026 · The Mestravaux.lu team
A roof-insulation file does not start only after receiving the invoice. Klimabonus provides for prior agreement in principle followed by a payment request. Identify the project and procedure before deducting an assumed grant percentage.
The essentials in 30 seconds
- Distinguish roof insulation from the floor below an unheated attic.
- Choose the route based on all renovated elements.
- Obtain agreement in principle before relevant work.
- Keep characteristics, areas, invoices and requested evidence.
- Advice or estimation is not an award decision.

Identify the insulated element
Roof and upper floor beneath an unheated attic are separate elements in the official procedure. Define thermal envelope, areas and attic use. New covering alone does not establish eligible energy renovation; assess individual items rather than assume the whole bill qualifies.
Select the procedure
Guichet.lu distinguishes energy-advice and single-element routes. The latter still requires an approved company or specified advisor involvement. Include other intended works when establishing the appropriate route.
Check technical conditions
Confirm eligible building age, performance, material and evidence. Particular conditions apply to some insulation products and roof windows in heated attics. Do not select thickness by material name alone; validate the proposed construction and applicable reference.
Follow the application order
Under the described regime, obtain agreement in principle before relevant work, then request payment with supporting records. Confirm procedures and deadlines for your file, especially older invoices or decisions. Submission is not approval.
Your project deserves an accurate estimate — it's free.
Request a quoteSeparate advice, decision and cash flow
Klima-Agence advises; Guichet.lu describes the application through the Guichet unique des aides au logement. Advice does not guarantee payment. The official page announces optional prefinancing from 1 January 2027 under conditions, not a deduction already available on every invoice.
Check additions separately
Ask the municipality about additional aid and its own procedure. Do not assume a generic municipal percentage. Track schemes, contacts, decisions, evidence and payments to avoid counting the same aid twice.
Frequently asked questions
Wait for the invoice to apply?
Not for prior agreement. Separate approval before work from payment request afterwards.
How much will I receive?
Obtain an estimate based on areas, performance and applicable rules. No fixed quote percentage is guaranteed here.
Can a roofer guarantee award?
They can prepare evidence within their role; the competent authority decides.
Must all roof windows be replaced?
Not as a blanket claim. Check age, performance and heated-attic conditions.
What if work has started?
Ask the competent service to examine dates and regime promptly; do not assume automatic retrospective approval.
