The types of roofing insulation offered depend on the type of roofing that it will certainly be used with. With an angled roof, either cozy or cool loft space insulation can be appropriate. Cold loft space insulation is the cheapest alternative, just entailing putting insulation beyond wood joists. Nevertheless, as this only prevents warm escaping the living area of the home, it isn't ideal for those wanting to hidden the loft right into a space. Cozy loft space insulation is put straight under the roofing, as well as hence will certainly keep the loft area at a continuous temperature throughout the year. Therefore, it is ideal if the loft space is utilized as a home. Cozy loft space insulation can be found in various kinds, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can additionally be made use of, but sometimes might disagree.

 

Types of loft space insulation

Blanket Insulation

One of the most common form of loft space insulation, this comes in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fibre (we utilize Earthwool by Knauf which is a really good environmentally friendly alternative), otherwise foil-backed felt. It's typically the least expensive choice and excellent all-purpose insulation, particularly for between joists. It's the simplest kind to fit yet isn't ideal for the roof covering.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This sort of insulation contains a loosened, light-weight, product, such as cork granules, cellulose fibre, mineral wool and even recycled newspaper. It can be utilized to cover up existing insulation or by itself. The major downside is it isn't extremely secure and can be actually messy!

 

Sheet Insulation

Firm boards of either synthetic or all-natural materials, this is the best remedy for shielding the bottom of your roofing system. The boards provide highly efficient insulation for your loft space as well as can additionally be embellished over. The disadvantage is that sheet insulation has a tendency to be the most costly type.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose products of different kinds blown in between joists, this is perfect for hard-to-get-at places yet doesn't offer a complete remedy, especially in a draughty loft space. It's also expensive and also needs to be installed by a expert.

FAQs

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.
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.

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.
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.
