The sorts of roof insulation offered rely on the sort of roof covering that it will be used with. With a pitched roof covering, either warm or cool loft space insulation can be suitable. Cold loft insulation is the cheapest choice, simply involving positioning insulation beyond wooden joists. Nonetheless, as this only avoids warm leaving the living location of the home, it isn't suitable for those looking to hidden the loft space right into a space. Warm loft space insulation is placed directly under the roofing, and also thus will certainly maintain the loft area at a continuous temperature level over the course of the year. Because of this, it is best if the loft space is utilized as a living space. Warm loft space insulation can be found in different kinds, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can also be used, however in many cases may be improper.

 

Kinds of loft insulation

Blanket Insulation

One of the most common type of loft insulation, this is available in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fiber (we utilize Earthwool by Knauf which is a truly great eco-friendly option), or else foil-backed really felt. It's typically the least expensive option and also great all-purpose insulation, specifically for in between joists. It's the most convenient type to fit but isn't suitable for the roof covering.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This type of insulation consists of a loosened, light-weight, material, such as cork granules, cellulose fibre, mineral woollen and even recycled newspaper. It can be made use of to cover up existing insulation or by itself. The primary drawback is it isn't very protected as well as can be truly messy!

 

Sheet Insulation

The boards give highly efficient insulation for your loft area and also can additionally be decorated over. The downside is that sheet insulation has a tendency to be one of the most expensive type.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose materials of various kinds blown in between joists, this is excellent for hard-to-get-at places but does not offer a complete option, particularly in a draughty loft. It's also expensive as well as requires to be set up by a specialist.

Aberdeen

Aberdeen is Scotland's third most populated city with an official estimate of 228,990 people. The city and the surrounding area has had settlements for at least 8,000 years. It is frequently nicknamed the Silver City because the granite buildings sparkle after the rain. This is due to the high mica content in the local granite.

Aberdeen started as two separate burghs. There was Old Aberdeen at the mouth of the River Don, and New Aberdeen which was a fishing and trading village. The two sections of the city joined together in 1891. Old Aberdeen still has its ancient charter from 1179 but is not officially independent any more.

The city has won the Britain in Bloom competition a record-breaking 11 times. It also presents the Aberdeen International Youth Festival, which is a principal event where young performing arts companies come to show their talents.

In 2012, the consulting firm Mercer listed Aberdeen as the 56th most liveable city in the world and the fourth most liveable city in the United Kingdom.

FAQs

how much loft insulation do I need?

Over the years, more and more home and property owners are beginning to realize the huge benefits that can be derived from loft insulation being a worthwhile investment. It’s quite worrisome the way in which energy bills have soared over the past 10 years and loft insulation is a considerable affordable energy efficiency measure that can go a long way to help increase your home’s energy savings.

 

As far back as the 1980’s, the standard when it comes to insulation thickness was 25 mm to 50 mm which was, at the time, considered to be sufficient. However, building regulations have changed the norm that now states that a new build needs to possess 270 mm of insulation in the loft in order to achieve the required u-value of less than 0.16/m2k based on the standard rock wool or sheep wool insulation.

 

Generally with loft insulation, there’s a law of depreciating returns which implies that the first couple of insulation centimetres will save you many times the cost of the installation, however an extra layer or centimetre is going to add less value to the point where it’ll no longer be wise or worthwhile to add any further centimetre. Therefore, with cheaper energy prices 30 years back, that additional couple of centimetres was not just worthwhile, but with the recent alarming rises in costs of fuel, that additional £10 savings per year has all of sudden changed to £30 which makes it become a lot more attractive.

 

If you already have 270 mm of loft insulation, regardless of the material you’re looking to add you’re most likely not going to benefit from a top up. The cost of the materials and installation will definitely be too high for the couple of pounds it’ll save you per year.

how much is loft insulation?

More often than not, several homeowners fail to realize there’s so much value sitting right under their roof - the loft. When a loft is insulated, there are so many juicy benefits that can be derived. It can go a long way to save increase you energy savings and several more functions. Therefore, if you really wish to maximize the space under your home’s roof, you’d have to considering insulating it. So how much would it cost to have your loft insulated? Here, you’ll discover the cost of insulating your lofts so you that you can set a budget and start to plan.

 

The cost of insulating a loft is actually affordable for several individuals, however, this depends on a wide range of factors such as the size of the house as well as the type of insulation being installed. One significant factor is the insulating material that you choose to install. If done properly, you’d be able to prevent heat from escaping through the roof of the house which helps improve energy efficiency and ultimately, save you some money on heating bills.

 

If you’d prefer to make it a DIY project and you go for a blanket insulation it costs about £5 per m2. therefore, this will cost within the range of £100 to about £150 for a small home.

 

For a professional service, you’ll be provided with a quote for both the materials and labour. The amount will be based on the number of insulation required, the company hired, your location as well as the method selected. The price to purchase and install blanket insulation  would be between the range of £300 to £400 depending on the size of your home.

how to insulate a loft?

Do you know about 25 percent of heat that escapes from an uninsulated house are lost through the roof? Fortunately, roof insulation is something that can done by all DIYers irrespective of their experience levels. However, if you happen to lack the confidence necessary to pull off this, then it’s strongly recommended that you hire the services of a professional who can guarantee the best results and also save you time and money that could arise from potential cost mistakes. Let’s take a look!

  • Clear out all clutter. This involves taking out all the rubbish and clutter from the loft. In order to work effectively, you’ll need a totally clear and empty loft space.
  • Ensure that there’s sufficient insulation. The importance of a good ventilation cannot be overstated. Poor ventilation will result in forming of condensation and this condensation can make the roof timbers rot and compromise the structural integrity of the entire roof. If there are no roof windows which is the easiest way to provide a loft ventilation, the next best option would be to follow the loft floor along to the point where the roof comes down to meet it. There should be a gap at this point, also referred to as the eaves, between the outside wall and the underside of the roof.
  • Measure your loft area. Take a measurement of the loft space in order to calculate the amount of insulation as well as the type you need. If you’re not sure, always get more that it’s required as skimming on the amount you use will only back fire in form of increased energy costs
  • Check for water pipes.

 

To get started, simply make sure all cracks and gaps in the ceiling are filled using a standard filler or decorator caulk. Once done, clean the gaps in the joists and even to the point of hovering all the dust up. Finally,check for the hazards that can cause you problems before laying the loft insulation.

Will insulation save me money on my energy bills?

This depends on the amount of insulation already present in your property. However, adding insulation has been proven to improve the energy efficiency of your home and decrease your heating bills, this is more obvious in older properties or where single glazing is still in situ.
