WHAT IS LOFT INSULATION?

Loft Insulation works like a protective blanket, keeping you away from the cold by preventing heat from escaping through the uninsulated roof. Installing Loft insulation will keep your home cool during summer and warm in the winter.

WHY INSTALL LOFT INSULATION?

Households in Great Britain have one of the oldest housing communities in Europe, this means, many were built without keeping energy efficiency in mind. This means you are losing 25% of heat through your uninsulated loft. With this scheme, you can have loft insulation installed professionally at no cost, keeping all your heat within your home, lowering carbon emissions, warming your home for 40 years, and reducing energy bills.

Understanding Loft Insulation and Its Importance

Loft insulation is using an insulating substance to minimise heat loss through the loft, making your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Its importance goes back to the fact that heat tends to travel upwards, and without a barrier to help trap it, it will easily escape. Loft insulation is therefore important even if you have other types of insulation installed, and proper thickness must be taken into account so that it can perform well. Heat loss can be reduced by more than 75% if the recommended insulation thickness, 270 mm, is fitted.

Is Your Loft Insulation Doing Its Job

           While loft insulations are important, their thickness determines whether they will be able to make your home more energy efficient; for this reason, the recommended thickness for loft insulation is 270 mm. This recommendation has been put in place since 2003 and refers to the thickness of the mineral wool used. Other materials, like foam boards, can be thinner, with a recommended thickness of 100 mm. If you have loft insulation that is not thick enough or has spaces in between, you can fill out the form, and one of our team members will come back to you to inform you with the next steps you can take.
