Insulation - Loft
Loft insulation can help you save money due to heat rising it can be very effective and save up to 20% of energy bills.
When insulating a loft, a depth of at least 150mm (6inches) is recommended. In many older properties, shallow joists in lofts restrict depth for loose-fill insulation. The most common type of insulation is blanket insulation this is using glass fibre, mineral fibre blanket, foil-backed felt and rock fibre. Another type is granular and loose fill fibre these are best not used in a draughty loft because the fibres may blow about in high winds. these are some forms of loose fill fibres; Cork granules, exfoliated vermiculite, mineral wool or cellulose fibre. Sheets of loft insulation are a good option if you intend to use the attic area, Only thin sheets are required especially if the finish is covered with plasterboard.
