The kinds of roof covering insulation offered depend on the kind of roof that it will certainly be made use of with. With a pitched roof, either cozy or cold loft insulation can be ideal. Cold loft space insulation is the most inexpensive alternative, merely involving putting insulation over wood joists. However, as this only prevents heat getting away the living area of the residence, it isn't appropriate for those aiming to concealed the loft space right into a home. Warm loft insulation is placed straight under the roof covering, as well as hence will certainly keep the loft room at a consistent temperature level throughout the year. As such, it is best if the loft is utilized as a living space. Warm loft insulation comes in different kinds, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can also be used, however in many cases may disagree.

 

Types of loft insulation

Blanket Insulation

The most usual form of loft space insulation, this is available in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fibre (we use Earthwool by Knauf which is a actually excellent environmentally friendly option), otherwise foil-backed really felt. It's generally the most affordable choice as well as excellent all-purpose insulation, specifically for in between joists. It's the most convenient type to fit but isn't appropriate for the roof.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This sort of insulation consists of a loosened, light-weight, material, such as cork granules, cellulose fiber, mineral wool or perhaps recycled newspaper. It can be utilized to cover up existing insulation or by itself. The primary drawback is it isn't extremely safe and secure and also can be really messy!

 

Sheet Insulation

Firm boards of either artificial or all-natural materials, this is the very best option for insulating the underside of your roof. The boards supply very efficient insulation for your loft area and can additionally be embellished over. The downside is that sheet insulation has a tendency to be one of the most pricey type.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose products of various kinds blown in between joists, this is ideal for hard-to-get-at areas but does not supply a complete service, especially in a draughty loft space. It's additionally pricey and also requires to be set up by a expert.

FAQs

how to insulate a loft?

Do you know about 25 percent of heat that escapes from an uninsulated house are lost through the roof? Fortunately, roof insulation is something that can done by all DIYers irrespective of their experience levels. However, if you happen to lack the confidence necessary to pull off this, then it’s strongly recommended that you hire the services of a professional who can guarantee the best results and also save you time and money that could arise from potential cost mistakes. Let’s take a look!

  • Clear out all clutter. This involves taking out all the rubbish and clutter from the loft. In order to work effectively, you’ll need a totally clear and empty loft space.
  • Ensure that there’s sufficient insulation. The importance of a good ventilation cannot be overstated. Poor ventilation will result in forming of condensation and this condensation can make the roof timbers rot and compromise the structural integrity of the entire roof. If there are no roof windows which is the easiest way to provide a loft ventilation, the next best option would be to follow the loft floor along to the point where the roof comes down to meet it. There should be a gap at this point, also referred to as the eaves, between the outside wall and the underside of the roof.
  • Measure your loft area. Take a measurement of the loft space in order to calculate the amount of insulation as well as the type you need. If you’re not sure, always get more that it’s required as skimming on the amount you use will only back fire in form of increased energy costs
  • Check for water pipes.

 

To get started, simply make sure all cracks and gaps in the ceiling are filled using a standard filler or decorator caulk. Once done, clean the gaps in the joists and even to the point of hovering all the dust up. Finally,check for the hazards that can cause you problems before laying the loft insulation.

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.

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 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! This process can be very tedious and time consuming especially if you don’t what you’re doing or lack the required confidence to pull it off. 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.
