How Much Money Can Loft Insulation Save You?
Loft insulation is one of the easiest forms of insulations to fit. The average family can save around £200 simply by laying 270mm of insulation in their loft space.
However, if they choose to install more than one type of insulation in their loft they can potentially save even more money. Most people think that there is only one kind of loft insulation and until fairly recently that was true. However, there are now in fact several kinds available.
Types of Loft Insulation
As well as traditional Rockwool insulation that can be rolled out between the eaves of your loft space, you can also now buy insulation made out of other materials. One of the most popular materials is made from recycled plastic bottles. It is just as easy to lay, but has the added advantage of being non itch and not losing fibres as you lay it. This means that you can lay it without having to cover your arms and wear a mask. In addition, should your water tank burst you can remove it dry it out thoroughly and re lay it.
In addition, you can buy loft insulation in the form of quilted materials to roll out and staple to the roof eaves. This provides an additional layer of insulation.
If you have to have your roof re-tiled you can have the third kind of roof insulation fitted. This kind fits under the tiles, it comes in a roll or individual tiles both of which can be tacked onto the eaves before the actual roof tiles are laid over the top of it.
