The benefits of insulating your loft

Insulating your loft is one of the most effective ways to keep the heat in during the winter. We recommend a minimum 270mm thickness for loft insulation, but the thicker the better! Homes without insulation could save up to £355 and 610kg of carbon dioxide a year by installing 270mm of insulation.*


How many loft rolls do I need for my space?

Knauf Insulation Space Loft Roll is available in three different thicknesses - 100mm, 170mm and 200mm. UK building regulations require 270mm of mineral wool insulation at ceiling level in a loft so the most common way of achieving this is through 100mm in between the joists and 170mm cross laid on top.

However, increasing the thickness of insulation maximises energy efficiency. New build properties typically use 400-500mm of loft insulation. This is achieved by using 3 layers of insulation; one base layer (100mm) lengthwise between the joists and super top-up (200mm) layers laid at right angles to the joists.

To achieve maximum performance, insulate with 500mm of Space Loft Roll.
