The sorts of roof covering insulation available depend on the kind of roofing that it will certainly be utilized with. With a pitched roof covering, either cozy or cool loft space insulation can be appropriate. Cold loft space insulation is the most inexpensive option, simply entailing placing insulation over wood joists. Nonetheless, as this only prevents warmth running away the living area of the house, it isn't suitable for those aiming to hidden the loft into a home. Cozy loft space insulation is positioned directly under the roofing system, and also for this reason will keep the loft space at a continuous temperature level over the program of the year.

Types of loft insulation

Blanket Insulation

The most common kind of loft insulation, this comes in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fibre (we utilize Earthwool by Knauf which is a actually great eco-friendly option), otherwise foil-backed felt. It's typically the most affordable choice and great all-purpose insulation, especially for in between joists. It's the easiest type to fit yet isn't suitable for the roof.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This sort of insulation includes a loose, lightweight, material, such as cork granules, cellulose fiber, mineral wool or even recycled newspaper. It can be utilized to cover up existing insulation or by itself. The primary drawback is it isn't very safe and secure and also can be actually unpleasant!

 

Sheet Insulation

Firm boards of either synthetic or all-natural products, this is the very best solution for shielding the underside of your roofing system. The boards supply very efficient insulation for your loft room and can also be embellished over. The drawback is that sheet insulation often tends to be the most pricey kind.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose products of various kinds blown in between joists, this is suitable for hard-to-get-at locations but does not provide a full service, specifically in a draughty loft. It's also pricey and also needs to be mounted by a professional.

FAQs

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 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 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.
