The kinds of roofing insulation readily available depend upon the kind of roof covering that it will be used with. With an angled roof, either warm or cool loft space insulation can be appropriate. Cold loft insulation is the cheapest option, just entailing positioning insulation over as well as over wooden joists. Nonetheless, as this only protects against heat leaving the living area of the residence, it isn't ideal for those aiming to covert the loft space right into a home. Warm loft insulation is positioned straight under the roofing system, as well as thus will keep the loft room at a consistent temperature throughout the year. Because of this, it is perfect if the loft space is used as a living area. Warm loft insulation can be found in various kinds, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can likewise be utilized, however in many cases might be inappropriate.

 

Types of loft space insulation

Blanket Insulation

The most common form of loft space insulation, this is available in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fibre (we utilize Earthwool by Knauf which is a really good environmentally friendly choice), otherwise foil-backed felt. It's generally the cheapest option and good all-purpose insulation, particularly for between joists. It's the most convenient kind to fit but isn't appropriate for the roofing.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This sort of insulation contains a loose, light-weight, material, such as cork granules, cellulose fiber, mineral wool and even recycled paper. It can be used to top up existing insulation or on its own. The main downside is it isn't extremely protected and can be truly messy!

 

Sheet Insulation

Company boards of either synthetic or natural products, this is the best solution for shielding the underside of your roofing. The boards offer highly effective insulation for your loft space as well as can additionally be embellished over. The disadvantage is that sheet insulation tends to be one of the most costly kind.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loose materials of different kinds blown in between joists, this is perfect for hard-to-get-at locations yet does not provide a complete solution, specifically in a draughty loft space. It's additionally pricey and also requires to be installed by a expert.

FAQs

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 much loft insulation do I need?

Over the years, more and more home and property owners are beginning to realize the huge benefits that can be derived from loft insulation being a worthwhile investment. It’s quite worrisome the way in which energy bills have soared over the past 10 years and loft insulation is a considerable affordable energy efficiency measure that can go a long way to help increase your home’s energy savings.

 

As far back as the 1980’s, the standard when it comes to insulation thickness was 25 mm to 50 mm which was, at the time, considered to be sufficient. However, building regulations have changed the norm that now states that a new build needs to possess 270 mm of insulation in the loft in order to achieve the required u-value of less than 0.16/m2k based on the standard rock wool or sheep wool insulation.

 

Generally with loft insulation, there’s a law of depreciating returns which implies that the first couple of insulation centimetres will save you many times the cost of the installation, however an extra layer or centimetre is going to add less value to the point where it’ll no longer be wise or worthwhile to add any further centimetre. Therefore, with cheaper energy prices 30 years back, that additional couple of centimetres was not just worthwhile, but with the recent alarming rises in costs of fuel, that additional £10 savings per year has all of sudden changed to £30 which makes it become a lot more attractive.

 

If you already have 270 mm of loft insulation, regardless of the material you’re looking to add you’re most likely not going to benefit from a top up. The cost of the materials and installation will definitely be too high for the couple of pounds it’ll save you per year.

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.

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.
