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

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 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.

how thick should loft insulation be?

Over the years there has been an increase in the recommended thickness of loft insulation by the government. Obviously, the reason behind this is pretty simply - the thicker the layer of your loft insulation the bigger your savings. The UK government is very keen to every house in the country to have loft insulation fitted where possible as it helps to minimize the heating demands of these properties. Households get to benefit from loft insulation in so many ways which includes reduced energy energy bills as well as having a home that stays at a more comfortable temperature for longer.

 

Generally, for the government energy efficiency is crucial as it implies that the highest demand ( which is usually the time of the day when gas or electricity use is at its peak ) reduces, since each building requires slightly less energy. Overall, that ultimately implies that new power plants don’t have to be built which is some nice cost savings for the government.

 

In the 1980’s, any thickness of loft insulation from 25 mm to 50 mm was considered the standard. But then, building regulations stated that homes should have as much as 100 mm of loft insulation. Over time, this gradually increased to 270mm for new builds and also recommended for other properties, although not essential. As a result of this, there’s always a need to check how much insulation you currently have in your loft before you decide to purchase more. You may discover that you already have something within the range of 20 mm to 200 mm up there and knowing this and the insulation values will assist in determining how much more you’ll need to purchase, if any at all. You should also note that some modern materials can offer the same thermal insulation whilst not being as thick.
