The sorts of roof covering insulation readily available depend on the type of roof covering that it will be utilized with. With an angled roof, either cozy or chilly loft space insulation can be appropriate. Cold loft insulation is the most inexpensive option, just entailing putting insulation beyond wood joists. Nevertheless, as this only prevents warmth getting away the living location of the home, it isn't suitable for those wanting to hidden the loft right into a living area. Warm loft space insulation is placed directly under the roofing system, as well as therefore will maintain the loft room at a constant temperature level over the course of the year. Therefore, it is perfect if the loft space is made use of as a space. Cozy loft space insulation can be found in various forms, be it glass-wool or polystyrene. Spray foams can also be made use of, yet in many cases might disagree.

 

Types of loft space insulation

Blanket Insulation

One of the most common form of loft insulation, this can be found in rolls of rock, glass or mineral fibre (we use Earthwool by Knauf which is a truly great environmentally friendly alternative), otherwise foil-backed really felt. It's generally the cheapest alternative and also great all-purpose insulation, particularly for between joists. It's the simplest type to fit but isn't ideal for the roof.

 

Loose-fill Insulation

This kind of insulation contains a loosened, light-weight, product, such as cork granules, cellulose fiber, mineral woollen or even recycled paper. It can be made use of to top up existing insulation or by itself. The primary drawback is it isn't really secure as well as can be truly unpleasant!

 

Sheet Insulation

Company boards of either artificial or natural products, this is the best solution for insulating the underside of your roof. The boards provide extremely effective insulation for your loft space and also can likewise be enhanced over. The downside is that sheet insulation tends to be one of the most expensive kind.

 

Blown-fibre Insulation

Loosened materials of different kinds blown in between joists, this is optimal for hard-to-get-at locations but doesn't provide a full option, particularly in a draughty loft. It's likewise expensive as well as needs to be installed by a specialist.

FAQs

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 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.

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 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.
