The sorts of roof covering insulation readily available depend on the kind of roof covering that it will certainly be utilized with. With an angled roof, either cozy or chilly loft insulation can be suitable. Cold loft space insulation is the cheapest choice, merely entailing putting insulation over wooden joists. However, as this only prevents warmth leaving the living location of the home, it isn't ideal for those wanting to covert the loft right into a home. Warm loft insulation is positioned straight under the roofing system, and also therefore will maintain the loft space at a constant temperature level over the program of the year. Therefore, it is ideal if the loft is made use of as a space. Warm loft insulation can be found in various types, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can likewise be made use of, yet in many cases might disagree.

 

Types of loft insulation

Blanket Insulation

One of the most typical kind of loft insulation, this comes in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fiber (we use Earthwool by Knauf which is a truly great eco-friendly alternative), otherwise foil-backed really felt. It's generally the most affordable choice and also good all-purpose insulation, especially for in between joists. It's the most convenient type to fit but isn't ideal for the roof.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This type of insulation consists of a loosened, lightweight, material, such as cork granules, cellulose fiber, mineral woollen or perhaps recycled paper. It can be made use of to top up existing insulation or on its own. The major downside is it isn't very safe and can be really messy!

 

Sheet Insulation

Company boards of either synthetic or natural materials, this is the most effective service for insulating the bottom of your roofing system. The boards give very efficient insulation for your loft area and also can also be embellished over. The disadvantage is that sheet insulation often tends to be one of the most pricey kind.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose products of different kinds blown in between joists, this is optimal for hard-to-get-at areas but doesn't supply a complete option, especially in a draughty loft space. It's additionally pricey and needs to be mounted by a professional.

FAQs

how much is loft insulation?

More often than not, several homeowners fail to realize there’s so much value sitting right under their roof - the loft. When a loft is insulated, there are so many juicy benefits that can be derived. It can go a long way to save increase you energy savings and several more functions. Therefore, if you really wish to maximize the space under your home’s roof, you’d have to considering insulating it. So how much would it cost to have your loft insulated? Here, you’ll discover the cost of insulating your lofts so you that you can set a budget and start to plan.

 

The cost of insulating a loft is actually affordable for several individuals, however, this depends on a wide range of factors such as the size of the house as well as the type of insulation being installed. One significant factor is the insulating material that you choose to install. If done properly, you’d be able to prevent heat from escaping through the roof of the house which helps improve energy efficiency and ultimately, save you some money on heating bills.

 

If you’d prefer to make it a DIY project and you go for a blanket insulation it costs about £5 per m2. therefore, this will cost within the range of £100 to about £150 for a small home.

 

For a professional service, you’ll be provided with a quote for both the materials and labour. The amount will be based on the number of insulation required, the company hired, your location as well as the method selected. The price to purchase and install blanket insulation  would be between the range of £300 to £400 depending on the size of your home.

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.

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.
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.
