Why Insulate Your Loft?

• As heat escapes through uninsulated lofts and attics, it can lead to cold air entering the building. The short-term solution is to turn up the heat when it’s cold, and put on the air conditioning when it gets hot. However, this wastes a lot of energy and leads to bigger heating and electric bills. Not to mention, it also has a negative impact on the environment.

Do I Need To Insulate My Loft?

If you own a loft, then you definitely need insulation. There are many reasons for this, which we will get into below. Some loft insulation is better than others. You need to make sure that you get the right kind of insulation for your loft, or else it won’t work as well.

You need to insulate your loft because it will keep the heat in during the winter and the cool air in during the summer. This will make your home much more comfortable and save you money on your energy bills. Loft insulation is also good for the environment because it helps to reduce energy consumption.

How Thick Should Loft Insulation Be?

Many homes in the United Kingdom already have some insulation, and if yours does as well, that's great! But don't get too comfortable just yet - according to the UK government, the minimum insulation thickness should be 270mm (approximately the size of a 30cm ruler).

We often come across insulation that is thinner than that, so it's definitely worth checking to see if yours needs an upgrade. Additionally, some homes have the right thickness of insulation, but it has been squashed by boarding at the wrong height or other objects that are placed on top of it. If you're not sure whether or not your insulation is up to par, it might be a good idea to have a professional take a look.

High Grade Insulation Increases The Value Of Your Property

Increasing the energy efficiency of your home makes it more valuable and thats a fact. The UK Government released a report based on research by the Department of Energy and Climate Change. It revealed that making energy-saving improvements in your home could increase its value by 16% on average.
Improving your home’s EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) from band G to E, or from band D to B, could mean adding a significant amount to its sale price.

Quality insulation can last the lifetime of a building, passing on the savings to the people who live and work in those spaces for decades to come.
