How Does Loft Insulation Work?

Loft insulation works by trapping heat within your home, preventing it from escaping through the roof. Insulation materials, such as mineral wool, are laid between and over the joists in your loft, creating a thermal barrier. This barrier reduces heat loss, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, ultimately improving energy efficiency and lowering heating costs.

Loft Insulation involves adding layers of insulation material to the floor of the loft space, which helps to reduce heat loss through the roof and keep the home warmer in winter.

There are several materials that can be used for loft insulation, the most widely used being mineral wool. The insulation material is laid between the joists, with additional layers added to achieve the government recommended amount of 270mm.
