The sorts of roofing insulation available depend upon the sort of roof that it will be utilized with. With a pitched roof covering, either warm or chilly loft space insulation can be appropriate. Cold loft space insulation is the least expensive option, merely involving placing insulation beyond wooden joists. However, as this only protects against heat running away the living location of the house, it isn't appropriate for those looking to covert the loft space right into a living room. Warm loft insulation is placed directly under the roof covering, and hence will certainly maintain the loft room at a consistent temperature throughout the year. Because of this, it is best if the loft space is utilized as a living room. Cozy loft space insulation is available in various forms, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can likewise be made use of, however sometimes might disagree.

 

Types of loft space insulation

Blanket Insulation

One of the most typical kind of loft insulation, this comes in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fiber (we utilize Earthwool by Knauf which is a really great eco-friendly option), otherwise foil-backed felt. It's typically the most inexpensive alternative and also great all-purpose insulation, specifically for between joists. It's the most convenient kind to fit yet isn't appropriate for the roofing.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This sort of insulation includes a loose, lightweight, product, such as cork granules, cellulose fibre, mineral wool or perhaps recycled newspaper. It can be made use of to cover up existing insulation or on its own. The main disadvantage is it isn't extremely protected and also can be truly untidy!

 

Sheet Insulation

Firm boards of either synthetic or natural materials, this is the most effective remedy for protecting the underside of your roof covering. The boards give extremely efficient insulation for your loft area as well as can also be decorated over. The disadvantage is that sheet insulation tends to be one of the most pricey kind.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose products of different kinds blown in between joists, this is perfect for hard-to-get-at locations but doesn't provide a complete option, specifically in a draughty loft. It's also pricey and needs to be installed by a expert.

FAQs

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.

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.

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 does loft insulation work?

A lot of an uninsulated property’s heat is lost through the roof and that’s even more alarming, when you realize this figure is up to a quarter of the total heat of the house. Hence, the tremendous importance of preventing this heat loss through loft insulation which will go a long way to help you against spending unnecessary thousands of pounds on heating bill as well as energy loss.

 

Loft insulation is an effective method to achieve the desired result, however the question is, how exactly does it work? Well, it’s time to find out!

 

Using either a fireplace or central heating to heat up your home, a large quantity of that heat would be lost through the roof of your home. Generally, heat rises and when it does, there’s simply no way to prevent it - it’s just science. Escaping by both the conduction and convection methods via your roof, the heat escaping through your ceiling, into the loft space and out into the open air outside can only be significantly reduced by laying loft insulation.

 

Generally, the added layer of insulation works by trapping the heat inside the room below the loft so as to enable the air within your house to stay warmer for longer. What’s more? The layer of insulation also keeps cold air from the outside from entering your home. As a result, you don’t have to heat your home as much in order to achieve the same temperature for each individual room. Over time, just by doing this you can potentially save hundreds pounds. Getting it installed in your home may actually seem a bit expensive at first, but it’s something that’ll eventually pay off.
