Loft Insulation Packages
Loft Insulated Packages
A quarter of heat is lost through the roof in an uninsulated home.
Insulating your loft, attic or flat roof is a simple and effective way to reduce heat loss and reduce your heating bills. Loft insulation is effective for at least 40 years and it should pay for itself many times over.
If you plan to use the loft or attic for storage, you will want to lay boards over the joists. Unfortunately, if you only insulate between the joists before doing this, the insulation won’t be thick enough.
To get enough insulation, you can raise the level of the floor so you can fit enough mineral wool beneath the new floor level. SMART can do this by fitting timber battens across the joists, or we can install purpose built plastic legs that fit on the joists and support the new floor. It’s important to leave a ventilated air gap between the insulation and the boards to prevent condensation on the underside of the boards.
SMART offer many loft packages for new build and home improvements including a Velux window for natural light, a raised platform for storage, a new drop down ladder to make them trips into the loft easy and safe and insulation to meet current building regulations.
