The kinds of roofing insulation readily available depend upon the kind of roofing that it will be made use of with. With a pitched roof covering, either warm or cool loft space insulation can be suitable. Cold loft space insulation is the most inexpensive alternative, just entailing positioning insulation over wood joists. Nonetheless, as this only prevents heat leaving the living area of the home, it isn't suitable for those wanting to covert the loft into a home. Warm loft space insulation is placed straight under the roof, and thus will maintain the loft space at a continuous temperature throughout the year. Thus, it is best if the loft space is made use of as a home. Warm loft insulation can be found in various kinds, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can also be used, however in some cases might disagree.

 

Types of loft space insulation

Blanket Insulation

One of the most common form of loft insulation, this is available in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fiber (we make use of Earthwool by Knauf which is a really good environmentally friendly choice), otherwise foil-backed felt. It's normally the cheapest alternative and also good all-purpose insulation, especially for between joists. It's the simplest kind to fit however isn't appropriate for the roofing system.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This kind of insulation includes a loosened, lightweight, material, such as cork granules, cellulose fiber, mineral wool or perhaps recycled paper. It can be made use of to top up existing insulation or on its own. The primary downside is it isn't really secure and also can be really unpleasant!

 

Sheet Insulation

Firm boards of either artificial or all-natural products, this is the very best service for protecting the bottom of your roof covering. The boards offer very efficient insulation for your loft area and can likewise be decorated over. The disadvantage is that sheet insulation has a tendency to be the most pricey kind.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose products of various kinds blown in between joists, this is perfect for hard-to-get-at places but does not use a full option, specifically in a draughty loft space. It's likewise expensive and needs to be installed by a specialist.

FAQs

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.

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 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.

Is loft insulation flammable?

When thinking about the right insulation material for your loft, some of the first few things that comes to mind is the various properties of that material as well as how good they fit with your home’s needs.naturally, you’d like to ensure that the insulation will be efficient enough to add to the overall energy efficiency of your home, however there are also other features that may not get as much attention but also happens to be equally important. As the primary function of an insulation is to blanket your house to offer a barrier against heat loss, going for an insulation material that’s also fireproof is crucial as loft insulation can burn. Although most insulation materials are fireproof, a myriad of problems can actually make your insulation burn.

 

For instance, fibreglass insulation is produced using glass combined with plastic polymers and is naturally resistant to fire. However, even at that you’d have to be careful with batts that are supported with foil or paper due to the fact that these materials can burn pretty quickly. Cellulose, on the other hand, is not fireproof and is required to be treated by other flame retardants in order to help reduce combustion. Some of the best insulation materials that are resistant to fire includes the following:

  • Fibre glass. This is made of glass that’s spun into fibres, then combined using plastic polymers. As a result, fiberglass insulation is naturally resistant to fire.
  • Mineral wool. Having a high melting temperature, this insulation material happens to be a great fit for thermal applications due to its superior fire resistant properties. In fact, mineral wool is still naturally non-combustible even if composed of recycled iron and steel by-products, or from actual mineral rock itself.
