BEST LOFT INSULATION IN 2023

Our Services

Loft Insulation

Most homes have an accessible attic or loft, and studies have shown that up to 25% of a property’s total heat loss occurs through this area. Fortunately, insulating your loft or attic is one of the easiest, quickest, and most cost-effective energy efficiency measures you can take. The primary benefits of loft insulation are as follows:

  • Helps to prevent heat from escaping through the roof
  • Helps to maintain warmth inside your home
  • Results in remarkable savings on your energy bill
  • Installation is fast and simple

When a house is not insulated, about a quarter of the heat is wasted through the roof. Loft insulation is a highly effective way to reduce heat loss and decrease the cost of heating. If installed correctly, the insulation can pay for itself several times throughout its 40-year life.

Loft Insulation Selection

  • If your loft doesn’t have condensation or damp issues, insulating it is simple.
  • You can use mineral wool rolls if the loft is easy to access and built with standard joists.
  • One layer of insulation will be laid on top of the joists – horizontal beams that comprise the loft’s floor.
  • The second layer is laid at precisely right angles so that it covers the joists.
  • This will build the insulation up to the necessary depth.

Loft Insulation Dos and Don’ts

DOs:

  • DO wear protective clothing, such as gloves and a mask, when handling loft insulation, as it can be irritating to the skin and respiratory system.
  • DO make sure you have enough insulation to cover your loft space to the recommended depth for your region. The recommended depth in the UK is typically 270mm.
  • DO ensure that any gaps or holes in the loft are sealed before installing the insulation to prevent heat loss and moisture buildup.
  • DO ensure that loft insulation does not block any vents or air bricks in the loft, as these are important for ventilation.
  • DO consider using natural, eco-friendly insulation materials, such as sheep wool or recycled paper, which are more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact than synthetic materials.

DON’Ts:

  • DON’T install loft insulation over existing insulation if it is wet or damp, as this can lead to mold growth and further damage to your home.
  • DON’T install insulation around electrical wires or light fixtures, as this can be a fire hazard. Instead, leave a gap of at least 75mm around these areas.
  • DON’T compress the insulation, as this can reduce its effectiveness and lead to heat loss.
  • DON’T cover any water tanks or pipes with insulation, as this can cause them to freeze and burst.
  • DON’T install loft insulation without checking the condition of your loft first. If there are any signs of damp, mold, or structural issues, these will need to be addressed before installation.
