How loft insulation works
Loft insulation acts as a blanket, trapping heat rising from the house below. You should also consider lagging your pipes at the same time for optimum efficiency..
How the savings add up
If everyone in the UK topped up their loft insulation to 270mm. £380m would be saved each year. That's enough money to pay the annual fuel bills of over 400,000 families. Using loft insulation is one of the best energy saving tips along with cavity wall insulation to cut your heating bill.
How it is installed
Loft insulation is simply laid over the floor of the loft, between and then over the joists if they are visible. Protective clothing, gloves and masks should be worn. Care must be taken not to insulate below the cold water tank, if one is present, and not to compress the loft insulation in tight corners or eaves. Walk boards can then be laid over the joists to provide safe access from the loft hatch to any water tanks (if present). Do we cover home insulation grants in your area? Check out our areas covered.
