The kinds of roof insulation readily available depend on the sort of roof covering that it will certainly be made use of with. With an angled roof, either warm or cool loft insulation can be suitable. Cold loft insulation is the cheapest choice, just involving positioning insulation over and above wood joists. However, as this only avoids heat running away the living location of the house, it isn't suitable for those wanting to concealed the loft into a space. Cozy loft space insulation is positioned directly under the roofing system, as well as for this reason will maintain the loft room at a continuous temperature level over the program of the year. Therefore, it is best if the loft is used as a home. Warm loft space insulation comes in different forms, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can likewise be used, but in some instances may disagree.

 

Kinds of loft space insulation

Blanket Insulation

One of the most typical form of loft insulation, this is available in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fiber (we use Earthwool by Knauf which is a actually great eco-friendly alternative), otherwise foil-backed felt. It's generally the cheapest option and also great all-purpose insulation, especially for in between joists. It's the most convenient type to fit but isn't suitable for the roof covering.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This sort of insulation consists of a loosened, light-weight, product, such as cork granules, cellulose fibre, mineral wool or perhaps recycled newspaper. It can be made use of to top up existing insulation or on its own. The major disadvantage is it isn't really protected and can be really untidy!

 

Sheet Insulation

Firm boards of either artificial or natural products, this is the very best solution for protecting the bottom of your roofing. The boards offer very efficient insulation for your loft room and can also be enhanced over. The drawback is that sheet insulation often tends to be the most expensive type.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose materials of various kinds blown in between joists, this is excellent for hard-to-get-at places but does not offer a full remedy, specifically in a draughty loft. It's likewise pricey and also needs to be set up by a specialist.

FAQs

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.

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.
