Loft Insulation
More information about Loft Insulation
Up to a quarter of heat produced in the home is lost through the roof, and customers are looking for better loft insulation so that they can save energy. Our range features a variety of easy-to-install, cost-effective loft insulation materials that deliver high quality solutions to help save your customers money.
What is loft insulation?
Loft insulation acts as a barrier in the roof space of a home to trap heat. It can be fitted between either the joists or rafters of the loft, to prevent heat loss in the winter and keep things cool in the summer. There are usually two methods: cold roof and warm roof.
Depending on how it’s fitted, you can either create an insulated living space with a cold loft (loft joist insulation) or blanket the loft as well to keep warmth in the roof space (loft rafter insulation).
What benefits do loft insulation materials offer?
Durable and capable of lasting for decades, loft insulation offers long-term cost effectiveness for virtually every customer by lowering their heating bills, improving their home’s energy efficiency rating and boosting property value.
In time, properly fitted loft insulation will pay for itself, making it a smart choice for those looking to stay in a property for many years. You can visit the Energy Saving Trust to find out how much can be saved annually by fitting loft insulation.
Loft insulation also offers benefits from a sustainability perspective, reducing homeowner carbon footprints by reducing emissions from home heating systems. Additionally, some loft insulation materials offer acoustic insulation properties for soundproofing.

Options such as our Rockwool thermal loft roll and Knauf insulation roll offer excellent thermal insulation while being easy to handle, lightweight and simple to install. Many of our loft insulation rolls are also non-combustible, helping to reduce the risk of fire spreading.
