Loft Insulation
Loft insulation is an effective way to enhance your home's energy efficiency by reducing heat loss through the roof. Given that up to 25% of your home's heat can escape through an uninsulated loft, installing loft insulation is a crucial step towards making your home more comfortable and lowering your energy bills.
How Does Loft Insulation Work?
Loft insulation involves laying insulating material between and over the joists on the floor of your loft. This material acts as a barrier, trapping heat within your living spaces and preventing it from escaping through the roof.
The main steps in the installation process include:
1. Assessment
A professional will inspect your loft to assess its suitability for insulation. They will check for any existing insulation, the condition of the roof, and any ventilation requirements.
3. Laying Insulation
Insulating material, typically mineral wool, is rolled out between the joists on the floor of the loft. Additional layers are then laid at right angles to cover the joists, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
2. Clearing the loft
The loft space will need to be cleared of any stored items to allow for the installation process.
4. Ensuring Ventilation
Proper ventilation is essential to prevent condensation and maintain air quality. The installation will include measures to ensure adequate ventilation in the loft space.
