The sorts of roofing insulation offered rely on the kind of roofing system that it will certainly be used with. With an angled roof, either cozy or chilly loft insulation can be appropriate. Cold loft space insulation is the cheapest choice, simply involving positioning insulation beyond wooden joists. However, as this only stops warmth running away the living area of the home, it isn't ideal for those wanting to concealed the loft right into a home. Cozy loft insulation is positioned directly under the roofing system, and for this reason will maintain the loft space at a constant temperature level over the training course of the year.

Spray foams can likewise be used, however in many cases might disagree.

 

Types of loft space insulation

Blanket Insulation

One of the most usual form of loft space insulation, this can be found in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fiber (we utilize Earthwool by Knauf which is a truly excellent eco-friendly choice), otherwise foil-backed felt. It's typically the cheapest choice and excellent all-purpose insulation, especially for in between joists. It's the easiest type to fit but isn't suitable for the roof covering.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This kind of insulation contains a loosened, light-weight, product, such as cork granules, cellulose fibre, mineral woollen or perhaps recycled paper. It can be made use of to cover up existing insulation or on its own. The major disadvantage is it isn't really secure and can be really unpleasant!

 

Sheet Insulation

Firm boards of either artificial or all-natural products, this is the most effective option for insulating the underside of your roofing system. The boards provide very efficient insulation for your loft room as well as can likewise be decorated over. The drawback is that sheet insulation tends to be one of the most pricey kind.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loosened products of various kinds blown in between joists, this is optimal for hard-to-get-at locations but doesn't offer a full solution, specifically in a draughty loft space. It's also pricey and also needs to be mounted by a professional.

FAQs

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.

how to insulate a loft roof?

Insulating your loft roof comes with a wide range of benefits. Not only do you get to maintain a comfortable temperature in your house for longer, but you’ll also get to cut down on your heating bills. If you wish to insulate your loft roof, you’ve come to the right place!

It’s advisable to hire the services of a reputable professional who can guarantee the best results for help and also save you some time and money that can come from potentially costly errors.

 

Before you start rolling out, you’d have to make sure that all cracks, gaps and holes in the ceiling are filled with either a standard filler or decorators caulk. You can also clean between between the gaps in the joists thoroughly. And finally, check for hazards that can cause you problems before getting stated.

  • Remember to leave ventilation gaps as you start from the eaves. Then work towards the loft’s centre, starting from the point furthest from the hatch.
  • Lay the first layer between the joists which should be 100 mm and then the subsequent layer should be 170 mm to make it up to the recommended 270 mm.
  • Carry the electric cables above the insulation and work around visible light fittings.
  • Cut the roll in the centre of the floor when rolling out from the eaves on both sides with the help of a craft knife. Ensure that there are no gaps between the insulation and the joists’ edges.
  • Lag pipes as you go in order to prevent walking over the insulation to get back to them.
  • Ensure that the loft is totally insulated
  • Insulate the hatch.
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.

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.

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.
