How to Prove Your Loft is energY efficient CIRCLAPP has specified that installing loft insulation could reduce your energy bills. An un insulated home loses a quarter of its heat through the roof so insulating your loft, flat roof or loft is necessary to reducing heat loss and your energy bills.
wHat tYPe of insuLation Do i neeD? • Depending on if the beams are regular and if access is easy. • Companies normally need to be able to insulate at least two thirds of your loft space. • And they exclude properties with more than 60mm of existing loft insulation.
wHat is Your Loft for? Another way of looking at this, is to consider what your loft is going to be used for before you decide what to do.
-storage • If you’re using your loft for storage then you will want to lay boards over the beams. • Insulate between the beams with mineral wool then lay rigid insulation boards on top, with wooden boards on top. • You can buy insulation board prebonded to the wooden boarding to make this much easier.
-inaccessibLe
• If your loft is inaccessible, you can have blown insulation installed by a professional. • They will use specialist equipment to blow fire-retardant. • Loose insulation material made of cellulose fiber or mineral wool into the loft.
-Loft conversion
• You can insulate your room-in-theroof by insulating the roof itself instead of the floor. • Boards need to be cut to the correct width so they fit tightly between the roof beam. • Walls in your roof space and around dormer windows need to be insulated and you can do that with rigid insulation boards.
