Loft Insulation
Save on energy costs and improve living space with professional loft insulation.
Loft Insulation: The Protective Blanket for Your Home
Loft insulation acts like a thermal shield, preventing heat from escaping through an uninsulated roof and keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.
Why Should You Install Loft Insulation?
Many homes in Great Britain belong to one of the oldest housing communities in Europe, often built without energy efficiency in mind. As a result, up to 25% of your home’s heat is lost through an uninsulated loft. By taking advantage of this scheme, you can have loft insulation professionally installed at no cost.
The benefits include:
- Retaining heat in your home for up to 40 years.
- Reducing carbon emissions for a greener planet.
- Lowering your energy bills significantly.
Stay comfortable year-round while saving money and contributing to sustainability.
Understanding Loft Insulation and Why It Matters
Loft insulation involves using insulating materials to reduce heat loss through your loft, helping your home stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This is essential because heat naturally rises, and without an effective barrier, it escapes quickly.
Even if other types of insulation are installed in your home, loft insulation remains crucial for overall efficiency. Ensuring the insulation is the proper thickness is key to maximizing its performance. By installing the recommended thickness of 270mm, heat loss can be reduced by over 75%, significantly improving energy efficiency and comfort in your home.
Types of Loft Insulation
Blanket Insulation
Made from materials like mineral wool or sheep’s wool, this is the most popular type of loft insulation. It is highly versatile, easy to install, and suitable for most loft spaces.Loose-Fill Insulation
Typically made from materials such as mineral wool or cork, loose-fill insulation is ideal for increasing the thickness of existing insulation or filling hard-to-reach areas.Blown Fibre Insulation
Produced from fiberglass or mineral wool, blown fibre insulation is often made from recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly choice. It excels at filling hard-to-access spaces and provides high efficiency, ensuring no gaps are left behind.Rigid Foam Board Insulation
Constructed from materials like cork or wood, rigid foam boards are commonly used for insulating loft walls or sloping sides. They are durable and provide excellent thermal performance.
