is the best insulation for a loft?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The </span>most popular insulation<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for a loft is <a href=\"#choosing-loft\">standard (blanket) insulation</a>. This is when sheets are laid under and in between the floor joists or roof rafters and secured in place. Blanket insulation is usually made from mineral wool (rock or glass), sheep&#8217;s wool, foil-backed felt, or fibreglass. </span></p>\n"},{"question":"Should I remove old loft insulation before laying new?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You don’t necessarily need to remove old loft insulation if it is dry, healthy, and not squashed. Loft insulation has a long lifespan of </span>up to 40 years<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, so you might get by with topping up your existing insulation to the recommended 270mm. This will also be cheaper than starting from scratch. Consult with a professional assessor to determine your existing insulation health. </span></p>\n"},{"question":"Can I insulate my loft myself?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your loft is easy to access and structurally secure, you can insulate your loft by yourself given you have done your research, and have the necessary protective gear. <a href=\"#loft-how\">DIY loft insulation</a> can save up to 70% of the costs associated with professional installation, but comes at a big risk of faulty insulation, health risks, and mounting repair costs in the future. </span></p>\n"},{"question":"What is the recommended loft insulation in the UK?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since 2003, the UK government has recommended </span>at least <a href=\"#insulation-thickness\">270mm</a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> loft insulation material for optimum effectiveness. Houses with existing insulation that fall short of this thickness can easily top up for a smaller cost.</span></p>\n"},{"question":"Is 100mm of insulation enough in a loft?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In general, 100mm loft insulation</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is</span> not sufficient <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to achieve the best insulating capacity for your home. It is recommended to top up this amount to the government-recommended amount of at least 270mm. For homes with existing 200mm loft insulation that is dry and undamaged, topping up will be a very small cost.</span></p>\n"},{"question":"How much does it cost to insulate the loft?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"#loft-cost\">Loft insulation costs</a> for a 3-bedroom semi-detached home in the UK are around </span>£930<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for full loft insulation. Homes with existing insulation that need to top up will pay significantly less.</span></p>\n"},{"question":"What is the cheapest way to insulate a loft?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cheapest loft insulation is called </span><a href=\"#loft-how\">cold loft insulation</a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This is when sheets of blanket insulation (like mineral wool) are laid over and between the joists of your loft floor before adding back the floorboards. Your home will stay warm, but the inside of your loft will be uninsulated and unsuitable as a living space. This is normally done for lofts to be used as storage.</span></p>\n"}],"hidestructureddata":false,"background":"","titleColor":"","backgroundContent":"","contentColor":""}},"innerBlocks":[],"innerHTML":"","innerContent":[],"isValid":true,"theme":"greenmatch"}],"lastUpdated":"21

<p><strong>Loft insulation</strong> is when a barrier of <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/insulation/materials">insulating material</a> is installed in your loft to minimise heat loss and temperature change in your home. This works by trapping heat in air pockets to prevent it from escaping, keeping your home warm during winter and cool during summer.</p> </div><!----><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>Most lofts in the UK already have some degree of <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/insulation">insulation</a>, but <strong>up to 20%</strong> of UK homes still lack appropriate measures. Current UK <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/insulation/rules-regulations/loft">loft insulation regulations</a> recommend <strong>at least 270mm</strong> of depth for loft insulation material, but the good news is that homes with existing insulation will spend much less on topping up their insulation rather than starting from scratch.</p> </div><!----><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>In any case, loft insulation is a highly worthy and cost-effective investment with a staggering lifespan of <strong>up to 40 years</strong>, making sure your home is warm for decades to come.</p> </div><!----><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>Another avenue of insulation for loft spaces is <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/insulation/loft/acoustic">acoustic loft insulation</a>.

This is when the loft floor is insulated to keep the rest of your house warm. Lift the floorboards, add <strong>270mm of mineral wool</strong> in between the joists, and leave a <strong>50mm air gap</strong> for ventilation. If you don’t have enough floor width, purchase<strong> loft legs</strong> from a hardware store to elevate the floor. While this can be done DIY, it is best to work with a professional to ensure the job meets regulations.</p> </div><!----><div class="wordpress-image"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full no-shadow"><img src="https://cdn.greenmatch.co.uk/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto/2/2024/03/warm-loft-insulation.png" alt="warm-loft-insulation" class="wp-image-99187" /></figure> </div><!----><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p><strong>Warm loft insulation </strong>is best suited for a loft living space. This is when <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/insulation/loft/rafter">loft insulation between rafters</a> is laid from the inside of the loft space, secured in place, and covered up with plasterboard. Roof rafters can also be insulated with spray loft insulation, although these tend to be expensive. The inner walls of the living area will also need to be insulated from the rest of the loft to ensure there is no heat loss. Windows or skylights also need quality glazing and draught proofing for quality insulation.

This is when sheets are laid under and in between the floor joists or roof rafters and secured in place. Blanket insulation is usually made from mineral wool (rock or glass), sheep’s wool, foil-backed felt, or fibreglass. \n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Should I remove old loft insulation before laying new?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"You don’t necessarily need to remove old loft insulation if it is dry, healthy, and not squashed. Loft insulation has a long lifespan of up to 40 years, so you might get by with topping up your existing insulation to the recommended 270mm. This will also be cheaper than starting from scratch. Consult with a professional assessor to determine your existing insulation health. \n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I insulate my loft myself?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"If your loft is easy to access and structurally secure, you can insulate your loft by yourself given you have done your research, and have the necessary protective gear. DIY loft insulation can save up to 70% of the costs associated with professional installation, but comes at a big risk of faulty insulation, health risks, and mounting repair costs in the future. \n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the recommended loft insulation in the UK?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Since 2003, the UK government has recommended at least 270mm loft insulation material for optimum effectiveness. Houses with existing insulation that fall short of this thickness can easily top up for a smaller cost.\n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is 100mm of insulation enough in a loft?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"In general, 100mm loft insulation is not sufficient to achieve the best insulating capacity for your home. It is recommended to top up this amount to the government-recommended amount of at least 270mm. For homes with existing 200mm loft insulation that is dry and undamaged, topping up will be a very small cost.\n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does it cost to insulate the loft?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Loft insulation costs for a 3-bedroom semi-detached home in the UK are around £930 for full loft insulation. Homes with existing insulation that need to top up will pay significantly less.\n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the cheapest way to insulate a loft?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The cheapest loft insulation is called cold loft insulation.
