Loft Insulation

Loft Insulation

Loft insulation is often overlooked by many householders but is one of the main ways that we reduce our heating bills, as well as carbon emissions. The running and heating of homes is said to account for almost one third of all man-made carbon emissions in the UK, according to The Energy Saving Trust.

Without loft insulation you could be losing as much as 25% of your heating costs through your roof and even if your loft is insulated, depending on the type of loft insulation that is in place, you could still be throwing money away as not all loft insulation has the same efficiency.

One of the most effective types of loft insulation is polyurethane spray foam which is a very cost effective insulation material, and works to keep the desired space or area warm in winter and cool in the summer as well as being able to fix roof problems such as leaks and slipped tiles.

The application of the spray foam loft insulation process is normally completed within two days and is guaranteed for 30 years.

RoofSURE Ltd have been applying their spray foam loft insulation for over 20 years to domestic and commercial properties throughout the UK. The RoofSURE spray foam loft insulation system doesn’t just insulate your loft, but it also stabilises the roof structure without changing its external appearance.

There aren’t many types of loft insulation that do more than just insulate. RoofSURE’s spray foam solution stops leaking roofs, stops slipping slates and tiles, eliminates freezing plumbing, stops wind, rain or snow ingress as well as providing efficient insulation for your property. Even if you have loft insulation at present, it might be worth looking into spray foam loft insulation to make sure your roof is equipped to deal with the worst that Mother Nature can throw at it.

To ensure that the loft insulation is correctly fitted, it is only applied by BUFCA (British Urethane Foam Contractors Association) accredited installers. Because the loft insulation is applied by a team of RoofSURE’s qualified technicians, RoofSURE guarantee that you won’t have any roof problems for 30 years.

    When you say loft do you mean attic? If yes then there is no problem, the boards will actually help insulate the loft.

    Something like 2/3 of heat loss is through the roof. If your loft is heated space, then yes you would do well to insulate. R30 insulation (20cm fiberglass) is a minimum. This is one case where more is definitely better, and extra insulation generally pays for itself in two or three years.

    You need to keep in mind "R" value. Roughly speaking, this is a measure of how good insulation is at insulating. The higher the R number, the better the insulation.
    Yes, fiberglass is itchy stuff to work with, but it is excellent insulation for the money. You can but it in rolls (bats), or have it blown in.
    Before WW2, newspaper "slugs" were commonly used as insulation. (My own house, built in 1939 had it, until I replaced it.)
    You may be able to find it somewhere yet (I've never tried, so not sure where).
    I've never heard of anybody using wool or hemp as insulation. I wouldn't imagine it would be very good. In any event, depending upon where you live, it may cause you astronomical heat bills by using it. Remember – wet wool is worthless.
    If you REALLY want top of the line insulation, consider foam insulation, installed by a professional. Very expensive, but very, very high R value. If I could have my whole house insulated in it – I would love it!
    Good luck!

    Its highly unlikely that your loft insulation and pipes contain asbestos, if your are unsure your local council will be able to tell you, your flooring is also unlikely

    Check with the light manufacturer. Some fixtures put off a lot of heat and regardless of the insulation type, it could burn.

    There may be a generic cover that you could screw/bolt over the back of the fixture to prevent the insulation from coming into contact with the light.

    One thing you could do is cut away the insulation from around the light fixture but then take a 12"x12" piece and lay that OVER the hole. You will still have it insulated but still no insulation will be touching it.
