Room In Roof Insulation
WHY INSULATE YOUR ROOM IN ROOF PROPERTIES?
Attics and rooms in the roof are often largely untouched from the day they were
constructed - leaving them too cold in winter and uncomfortably warm in the summer.
Correctly insulating rooms in the roof will provide a massive source of potential energy savings and
provide you with a more comfortable house to live in - all year round
WHAT IS THE ROOM IN ROOF INSULATION PROCESS?
Day 1 - SWIP Room in roof Insulation Systems secured to the internal walls of the
property. Knauf Insulation Earthwool Loft Roll 44 is used to insulate the loft space or boarded if
not.
Day 2 - British Gypsum Plaster is skimmed over the dry lining boards.
5-7 working days after this our painting and decorating team will paint all internal walls and
secure fixtures and fittings including replacing all skirting boards.
IF THE LOFT ROOM IS NOT INSULATED YOU COULD BE LOSING UP TO 25% OF THE HEAT GENERATED IN THEIR HOMES. INSULATING THE WALLS AND CEILING OF THE LOFT ROOM COULD SAVE YOU UP TO 30% ON YOUR HEATING BILLS PER YEAR.
Internal Wall Insulation
WHY INSULATE YOUR PROPERTY WITH INTERNAL WALL INSULATION?
Correctly insulating your property will provide a massive source of potential energy savings and provide you with a more comfortable place to live in - all year round.
- It will help improve the EPC rating to achieve a E or above which is compliant with the MEES regulation that started in April 2018.
- It will help reduce the heating costs
- It helps reduce the carbon emissions of the property, helping the UK to meet its Carbon emissions reduction policy.
WHAT IS THE INTERNAL WALL INSULATION PROCESS?
Day 1 - British Gypsum Internal Wall Insulation Systems Drilyner TL Insulated dry lining system
boards are secured to the internal walls of the property.
Day 2 - British Gypsum Plaster is skimmed over the dry lining boards.
5-7 working days after this our painting and decorating team will paint all internal walls and
secure fixtures and fittings, including replacing all skirting boards.
Loft Insulation
WHAT IS LOFT INSULATION?
Loft insulation is a barrier of material within your roof space. It can either be laid between the
joists (the horizontal beams along the floor of your attic) or the rafters (the angled beams that
support the roof).
Either way, it slows down the transfer of heat between your living space and the outside world,
creating a warmer home in winter and a cooler one in summer. Insulation between the joists keeps
warmth in your living space below and creates a cold loft, while insulation in the rafters allows
you to keep warmth in the roof space as well.
WHY INSULATE YOUR LOFT SPACE?
In uninsulated homes, a quarter of the heat is lost through the roof.
Having good loft insulation also helps you reduce your home's carbon footprint. That's because the
better insulated your home is, the more efficient your heating system will be - reducing emissions
as well as saving you money on bills.
