The kinds of roofing system insulation available depend on the sort of roofing that it will be made use of with. With a pitched roof covering, either cozy or cold loft space insulation can be appropriate. Cold loft space insulation is the cheapest choice, just including placing insulation over and also above wood joists. However, as this only avoids heat running away the living area of the residence, it isn't suitable for those seeking to concealed the loft space into a home. Warm loft insulation is positioned directly under the roofing system, as well as hence will keep the loft space at a constant temperature level throughout the year. As such, it is perfect if the loft space is utilized as a living area. Warm loft insulation is available in different forms, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can also be used, but in some instances might be unsuitable.

 

Kinds of loft insulation

Blanket Insulation

One of the most typical form of loft insulation, this comes in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fibre (we utilize Earthwool by Knauf which is a truly great environmentally friendly alternative), otherwise foil-backed felt. It's usually the cheapest option as well as excellent all-purpose insulation, especially for between joists. It's the simplest kind to fit yet isn't ideal for the roofing system.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This kind of insulation includes a loose, light-weight, material, such as cork granules, cellulose fibre, mineral woollen and even recycled paper. It can be made use of to cover up existing insulation or by itself. The primary drawback is it isn't extremely safe and secure and can be truly unpleasant!

 

Sheet Insulation

Firm boards of either synthetic or all-natural products, this is the best option for protecting the bottom of your roof. The boards provide very effective insulation for your loft space as well as can also be embellished over. The disadvantage is that sheet insulation often tends to be one of the most expensive kind.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose materials of numerous kinds blown in between joists, this is perfect for hard-to-get-at locations but doesn't provide a complete remedy, particularly in a draughty loft. It's additionally pricey and requires to be set up by a expert.

FAQs

what is the best loft insulation?

If you have a loft, then the next thing that’s crucial is a loft insulation. Asides from cutting down on your carbon footprint, when you’re able to install an effective loft insulation you can slash your heating bills by up to £250 per year. What’s more? Besides making your home more energy efficient, it can also increase the value of your property a great deal. So if you’re also considering the insulation of your loft, one of the few things that comes to mind is, what loft insulation is the best to incorporate? In order to help you make the best informed decision possible, this post is going to address this issue and put you on the right path.

 

In truth, there’s no way to say exactly which type of insulation is the best as all types usually have a different purpose as well as usage. The insulation you choose for your home’s loft is be based largely on the how you’re going to make use of the space as well as any unique challenges you might face given the shape of your home’s loft. Below are some types of insulation to give you a better idea:

  • Blanket insulation. This is the most common type that comes in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fibre ( or foil-backed felt ). It normally the most affordable and also a good all-purpose insulation which is easy to fit although not suitable for the roof.
  • Loose-fill insulation. This type of insulation features a loose, lightweight material such as cork granules, cellulose fibre, mineral wool etc. It can either be incorporated as a top up or on its own. The primary drawback is it isn’t very secure and can also be very messy.
  • Sheet insulation. This is the best solution for the roof’s underside as it offers a highly effective insulation for your loft space and can also be decorated over. The drawback here is that it’s usually the most expensive type to purchase and install.
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.
Is loft insulation flammable?

When thinking about the right insulation material for your loft, some of the first few things that comes to mind is the various properties of that material as well as how good they fit with your home’s needs.naturally, you’d like to ensure that the insulation will be efficient enough to add to the overall energy efficiency of your home, however there are also other features that may not get as much attention but also happens to be equally important. As the primary function of an insulation is to blanket your house to offer a barrier against heat loss, going for an insulation material that’s also fireproof is crucial as loft insulation can burn. Although most insulation materials are fireproof, a myriad of problems can actually make your insulation burn.

 

For instance, fibreglass insulation is produced using glass combined with plastic polymers and is naturally resistant to fire. However, even at that you’d have to be careful with batts that are supported with foil or paper due to the fact that these materials can burn pretty quickly. Cellulose, on the other hand, is not fireproof and is required to be treated by other flame retardants in order to help reduce combustion. Some of the best insulation materials that are resistant to fire includes the following:

  • Fibre glass. This is made of glass that’s spun into fibres, then combined using plastic polymers. As a result, fiberglass insulation is naturally resistant to fire.
  • Mineral wool. Having a high melting temperature, this insulation material happens to be a great fit for thermal applications due to its superior fire resistant properties. In fact, mineral wool is still naturally non-combustible even if composed of recycled iron and steel by-products, or from actual mineral rock itself.
Which type of insulation is best?

The best type of insulation for your property will depend on the type of walls and any insulation that’s already present. It’s usually a good idea to have some form of wall insulation as well as loft insulation, as this helps to prevent heat loss in both areas.
