The kinds of roofing insulation readily available depend upon the kind of roof covering that it will be used with. With an angled roof, either warm or cool loft space insulation can be appropriate. Cold loft insulation is the cheapest option, just entailing positioning insulation over as well as over wooden joists. Nonetheless, as this only protects against heat leaving the living area of the residence, it isn't ideal for those aiming to covert the loft space right into a home. Warm loft insulation is positioned straight under the roofing system, as well as thus will keep the loft room at a consistent temperature throughout the year. Because of this, it is perfect if the loft space is used as a living area. Warm loft insulation can be found in various kinds, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can likewise be utilized, however in many cases might be inappropriate.

 

Types of loft space insulation

It's generally the cheapest option and good all-purpose insulation, particularly for between joists. It's the most convenient kind to fit but isn't appropriate for the roofing.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This sort of insulation contains a loose, light-weight, material, such as cork granules, cellulose fiber, mineral wool and even recycled paper. It can be used to top up existing insulation or on its own. The main downside is it isn't extremely protected and can be truly messy!

 

Sheet Insulation

Company boards of either synthetic or natural products, this is the best solution for shielding the underside of your roofing. The boards offer highly effective insulation for your loft space as well as can additionally be embellished over. The disadvantage is that sheet insulation tends to be one of the most costly kind.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose materials of different kinds blown in between joists, this is perfect for hard-to-get-at locations yet does not provide a complete solution, specifically in a draughty loft space. It's additionally pricey and also requires to be installed by a expert.

FAQs

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.

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.

how much loft insulation do I need?

Over the years, more and more home and property owners are beginning to realize the huge benefits that can be derived from loft insulation being a worthwhile investment. It’s quite worrisome the way in which energy bills have soared over the past 10 years and loft insulation is a considerable affordable energy efficiency measure that can go a long way to help increase your home’s energy savings.

 

As far back as the 1980’s, the standard when it comes to insulation thickness was 25 mm to 50 mm which was, at the time, considered to be sufficient. However, building regulations have changed the norm that now states that a new build needs to possess 270 mm of insulation in the loft in order to achieve the required u-value of less than 0.16/m2k based on the standard rock wool or sheep wool insulation.

 

Generally with loft insulation, there’s a law of depreciating returns which implies that the first couple of insulation centimetres will save you many times the cost of the installation, however an extra layer or centimetre is going to add less value to the point where it’ll no longer be wise or worthwhile to add any further centimetre. Therefore, with cheaper energy prices 30 years back, that additional couple of centimetres was not just worthwhile, but with the recent alarming rises in costs of fuel, that additional £10 savings per year has all of sudden changed to £30 which makes it become a lot more attractive.

 

If you already have 270 mm of loft insulation, regardless of the material you’re looking to add you’re most likely not going to benefit from a top up. The cost of the materials and installation will definitely be too high for the couple of pounds it’ll save you per year.

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.
