What is loft insulation?
Loft insulation is one of the quickest and lowest-cost solutions for insulating your home. As heat rises, a lot of your home's heat is lost through the roof space. By filling the loft floor space and walls with an insulating material you can ensure you stop too much heat escaping.
Loft insulation materials have a long lifespan, so once it is done, you won't have to spend any more money after installation. Cellulose, foam board, mineral fibre and even recycled glass mineral wool can be used as insulation materials for your loft space.
Do you have enough insulation in your loft? The Energy Saving Trust says you could save up to £395 a year with the recommended depth of 270mm for mineral wool insulation. Call us today to discuss how you could save money on your heating bills.
How does loft insulation work?
Loft insulation creates a barrier to stop air from leaving through your roof space. Insulation is laid between the joists inside your roof space, and then cross layered with more insulation across all areas to maximise the barrier.
Loft insulation can also work in reverse. Not only does it keep your home warmer in the winter months, but it can prevent excessive heat from penetrating through the roof from the sun in the summer months and keep your home cooler. With a roof insulation grant, you could insulate your entire loft for free. Get in contact to find out more.
