Loft insulation - what's it all about?
It's never been more important to think about insulating your loft. Without proper insulation a lot of the valuable, expensive energy you use to heat your home will be lost through the loft. The recommended depth for mineral wool insulation is 270mm however there are other materials which require different depths.
Why insulate your loft and cavity?
Loft insulation is an effective way to save energy and money at home. A well insulated house keeps warmth exactly where you need it - indoors.
So, insulating your loft - or topping up any insulation you have already - will help to heat your home more efficiently. Using less energy reduces carbon dioxide emissions (CO2): one of the biggest causes of climate change. You will also save money on your bills too.
What could you save?
Loft insulation is effective for at least 40 years, and it will pay for itself over and over again in that time. The better insulated your home, the less energy you need to keep it warm - the more money you'll save in the long run. An average household could save upto £200 by carrying out effective isualtion.
By saving energy, your household will also produce less CO2. So, adding or topping up your loft insulation is a great way to do your bit - and reduce your impact on the environment. Plus, to save money on a professional installation, you can even do it yourself.
Could loft insulation work for your home?
Generally speaking, your home will be a perfect candidate for loft insulation if it has an accessible loft with no damp or condensation problems.
Did you know?
If everyone in the UK installed 270mm loft insulation, we could save around £520 million and nearly three million tonnes of CO2 every year. That's enough to fill Wembley Stadium nearly 380 times.
