How does room-in-roof insulation work?
Room-in-roof insulation is a great way to make your attic or loft conversion more comfortable to live in. It’s like a cosy blanket for your loft. This type of insulation involves lining the walls and ceiling with special materials, like mineral wool insulation.
These materials keep the warm air inside in winter, so you don’t need to use as much heating. In summer, it keeps the hot air out, making your attic space cooler and much more comfortable.
What does Room-in-roof insulation look like and where does it fit in your house?
Think of room-in-roof insulation as an extra layer for your attic. It comes in a few different shapes and sizes:
Type of insulation | What does it look like? | Where does it go? |
Blanket roll insulation | Soft and fluffy, like a wool blanket. | Fills the gaps between wooden beams. |
Rigid board insulation | Solid and flat rectangles covered with foil or a natural material. | Fits between wooden beams also. |
The type of insulation you use will depend on the size and shape of your attic. Our friendly team can help you choose the best insulation for your home.
