The kinds of roof insulation readily available rely on the sort of roofing that it will be made use of with. With a pitched roofing system, either cozy or chilly loft insulation can be ideal. Cold loft space insulation is the cheapest alternative, just including placing insulation over wood joists. However, as this only stops warmth running away the living location of the house, it isn't appropriate for those seeking to covert the loft space into a space. Cozy loft space insulation is placed directly under the roofing, and thus will maintain the loft room at a consistent temperature level over the training course of the year. Therefore, it is best if the loft space is made use of as a living area. Cozy loft insulation can be found in various types, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can also be used, but in some situations may disagree.

 

Kinds of loft insulation

Blanket Insulation

The most usual form of loft space insulation, this can be found in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fibre (we use Earthwool by Knauf which is a truly great environmentally friendly option), or else foil-backed really felt. It's usually the most affordable choice and good all-purpose insulation, especially for between joists. It's the simplest type to fit but isn't ideal for the roof.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This sort of insulation contains a loosened, light-weight, material, such as cork granules, cellulose fiber, mineral wool or even recycled newspaper. It can be utilized to top up existing insulation or on its own. The primary disadvantage is it isn't very secure as well as can be really unpleasant!

 

Sheet Insulation

Firm boards of either synthetic or natural products, this is the best solution for insulating the bottom of your roofing. The boards provide very effective insulation for your loft room and can also be enhanced over. The drawback is that sheet insulation has a tendency to be one of the most costly type.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loosened products of different kinds blown in between joists, this is perfect for hard-to-get-at areas but doesn't offer a full option, especially in a draughty loft. It's likewise costly and requires to be installed by a professional.

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 long does it take to install insulation?

How long it takes to install insulation will depend on the size of your property. In general, loft and cavity wall insulation can be installed in a day or two. External wall insulation will usually take longer to install. The rep or installer will be able to advise you when quoting for the job how long this will be.

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.

does loft insulation cause condensation?

The short and simple answer to this question is yes, loft insulation does cause condensation. Over the years, problems with condensation in loft spaces have become increasingly common. While this may not be harmful in anyway, when the condensation becomes excessive it can lead to more serious issues taking root in your loft like wet rot, dry rot as well as black spot mould. Generally, the best thing to do if you’re concerned about the condensation in your loft space and that it may rapidly become a bigger problem is to get in touch with a damp specialist as soon as possible.

 

Even though insulating your loft space comes with a wide array of benefits like making the top floor rooms warmer, it’s however comes at the cost of making your loft or room space cooler. Condensation in lofts take place primarily due to the humid air making its way through insulation or other gaps into the loft space and touching a cooler surface which in turn results in beads of moisture on the timbers, lintels as well as the underside of the roof. This is why its always a great idea make use of thermal insulation with a vapour barrier that’s installed on the warmer side of the insulating material.

 

Condensation in loft is caused by excess moisture in the air and lack of adequate air ventilation. Here are some top reasons that gives rise to this in the loft:

  • Extra insulation has been installed in the loft leading to a restriction on the natural air circulation in the property.
  • When the storage boxes or other items that has been stockpiled in the loft blocks the roof vents.
  • The release of steam and moist air into the loft space by hot water tanks.
