The kinds of roofing insulation available depend upon the kind of roofing that it will be used with. With a pitched roofing, either warm or cool loft insulation can be ideal. Cold loft insulation is the cheapest choice, just involving placing insulation over wooden joists. Nevertheless, as this only avoids warmth leaving the living area of the residence, it isn't ideal for those wanting to hidden the loft into a living area. Warm loft space insulation is put directly under the roofing system, and thus will maintain the loft area at a continuous temperature level throughout the year.

Spray foams can additionally be used, however sometimes may disagree.

 

Types of loft space insulation

It's usually the most affordable option as well as great all-purpose insulation, especially for in between joists. It's the most convenient kind to fit yet isn't appropriate for the roof covering.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This type of insulation consists of a loosened, lightweight, product, such as cork granules, cellulose fiber, mineral woollen or even recycled paper. It can be utilized to top up existing insulation or on its own. The primary drawback is it isn't very secure as well as can be truly unpleasant!

 

Sheet Insulation

Firm boards of either artificial or all-natural products, this is the very best solution for shielding the underside of your roof. The boards supply very reliable insulation for your loft space and also can also be embellished over. The disadvantage is that sheet insulation has a tendency to be one of the most expensive kind.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loosened materials of various kinds blown in between joists, this is suitable for hard-to-get-at locations yet doesn't supply a full solution, particularly in a draughty loft space. It's also costly and also requires to be installed by a specialist.

Colyton

Colyton is a community in Devon, England. It is located within the East Devon regional authority area. It is 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) from Seaton as well as 6 miles (9.7 kilometres) from Axminster. Its population in 1991 was 2,783, minimizing to 2,105 at the 2011 Census. Colyton is a major part of the Coly Valley electoral ward. The ward population at the above demographics was 4,493. Colyton initially appeared as an old village around 700 AD and also functions in the Domesday Book as 'Culitone'. The third code of law of King Edmund I was issued at Colyton in around 945. This assisted to maintain feudal culture, by specifying plainly its four pillars: royalty, lordship, household, and also neighbourhood. It grew into an important agricultural centre and market community with a corn mill, saw mill, iron foundry and also an oak bark tannery that is still functioning. Located 0.5 miles (0.8 km) to the north of the community was Colcombe Castle, now demolished, a former seat of the Courtenay household, Earls of Devon. Adhering to the attainder of the Marquis of Exeter the Courtenay lands escheated to the Crown, as well as those within Colyton were sold back for £1,000 to different homeowners of Colyton parish, as listed in an act transcribed in the Letters and Documents of Henry VIII dated 6 January 1547, summarised as "John Clarke and also others. Grant in totally free socage, subject to leas etc. (defined), for l,000 l, of the adhering to lands (extents offered) in the church of Colyton, which are parcels of Colyton chateau, Devon, as well as belonged to Henry Marquis of Exeter, attainted". This was the beginning of the Feoffees of Colyton, who continued to hold in typical different homes in the church. The town has been called "one of the most rebellious town in Devon" due to the number of its occupants who signed up with the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685.

FAQs

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.
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 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.

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.
