Kilmacolm

Kilmacolm is a town as well as civil parish in the Inverclyde council location, as well as the historic area of Renfrewshire in the west main Lowlands of Scotland. It lies on the northern incline of the Gryffe Valley, 7 1/2 miles (12.1 kilometres) south-east of Greenock and also around 15 miles (24 kilometres) west of the city of Glasgow. The village has a population of around 4,000 and is part of a larger civil parish which covers a big rural hinterland of 15,000 hectares (150 km2; 58 sq mi) including within it the smaller sized negotiation of Quarrier's Village, initially established as a 19th-century household orphans' residence. The location bordering the town was cleared up in primitive times and became part of a feudal culture with the parish separated in between separate estates for much of its background. The town itself stayed small, giving services to neighboring farm areas and also acting as a religious hub for the parish. The name of the town originates from the Scottish Gaelic Cill MoCholuim, suggesting the dedication of its church to St Columba. The parish church was discussed in a papal bull of 1225 showing its subservience to Paisley Abbey, and it rests on the site of an old religious community dating to the 5th or sixth centuries. Once more in the 13th century, Duchal Castle was built in the parish and also is remarkable for being besieged by King James IV of Scotland in 1489, complying with the resident Lyle family's assistance of an insurrection against him. Feuding between the honorable households of Kilmacolm was commonplace between Ages, as well as in the 16th as well as 17th centuries, the parish again pertained to the focus of the Crown for providing assistance to outlawed spiritual Covenanters. The personality of the town transformed significantly in the Victorian era, with the arrival of the railway in Kilmacolm in 1869. Much of Kilmacolm's modern buildings were created between this date and the outbreak of World War I. The development of such transportation links enabled the village to increase as a wealthy dorm room town offering the nearby city centres of Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock. The economic situation of the village showed this population modification, relocating far from its traditional dependence on farming to giving tertiary industry solutions to residents as well as site visitors.

FAQs

does loft insulation cause condensation?

The short and simple answer to this question is yes, loft insulation does cause condensation. Over the years, problems with condensation in loft spaces have become increasingly common. While this may not be harmful in anyway, when the condensation becomes excessive it can lead to more serious issues taking root in your loft like wet rot, dry rot as well as black spot mould. Generally, the best thing to do if you’re concerned about the condensation in your loft space and that it may rapidly become a bigger problem is to get in touch with a damp specialist as soon as possible.

 

Even though insulating your loft space comes with a wide array of benefits like making the top floor rooms warmer, it’s however comes at the cost of making your loft or room space cooler. Condensation in lofts take place primarily due to the humid air making its way through insulation or other gaps into the loft space and touching a cooler surface which in turn results in beads of moisture on the timbers, lintels as well as the underside of the roof. This is why its always a great idea make use of thermal insulation with a vapour barrier that’s installed on the warmer side of the insulating material.

 

Condensation in loft is caused by excess moisture in the air and lack of adequate air ventilation. Here are some top reasons that gives rise to this in the loft:

  • Extra insulation has been installed in the loft leading to a restriction on the natural air circulation in the property.
  • When the storage boxes or other items that has been stockpiled in the loft blocks the roof vents.
  • The release of steam and moist air into the loft space by hot water tanks.
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.

what is the best loft insulation?

If you have a loft, then the next thing that’s crucial is a loft insulation. Asides from cutting down on your carbon footprint, when you’re able to install an effective loft insulation you can slash your heating bills by up to £250 per year. What’s more? Besides making your home more energy efficient, it can also increase the value of your property a great deal. So if you’re also considering the insulation of your loft, one of the few things that comes to mind is, what loft insulation is the best to incorporate? In order to help you make the best informed decision possible, this post is going to address this issue and put you on the right path.

 

In truth, there’s no way to say exactly which type of insulation is the best as all types usually have a different purpose as well as usage. The insulation you choose for your home’s loft is be based largely on the how you’re going to make use of the space as well as any unique challenges you might face given the shape of your home’s loft. Below are some types of insulation to give you a better idea:

  • Blanket insulation. This is the most common type that comes in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fibre ( or foil-backed felt ). It normally the most affordable and also a good all-purpose insulation which is easy to fit although not suitable for the roof.
  • Loose-fill insulation. This type of insulation features a loose, lightweight material such as cork granules, cellulose fibre, mineral wool etc. It can either be incorporated as a top up or on its own. The primary drawback is it isn’t very secure and can also be very messy.
  • Sheet insulation. This is the best solution for the roof’s underside as it offers a highly effective insulation for your loft space and can also be decorated over. The drawback here is that it’s usually the most expensive type to purchase and install.
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.
