The playwright J. M. Barrie was born and hidden right here, and also a sculpture of Peter Pan stands in the town square. Though its value as a market town has lessened, its former jute factories (now making synthetics) echo its relevance in the 19th century as the centre of a home-based weaving sector. Historic features near Kirriemuir consist of a sculpted Pictish rock referred to as the Eassie Stone, discovered in the bed of a burn near the village of Eassie. Kirriemuir claims the narrowest public walkway in Western Europe; Cat's Close, located in between Grant's Pend and Kirkwynd. It is a plain 40 centimetres (15.75 inches) vast.

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.
