CIRCLAPP - How to Prove Your Loft is Energy Efficient

How to Prove Your Loft is Energy Efficient

• CIRCLAPP has specified that installing loft
  insulation could reduce your energy bills.
• An un insulated home loses a quarter of its heat
  through the roof so insulating your loft, flat
  roof or loft is necessary to reducing heat loss
  and your energy bills.

What Type of Insulation Do I Need?

• Depending on if the beams are regular and if
  access is easy.
• Companies normally need to be able to insulate at
  least two thirds of your loft space.
• And they exclude properties with more than 60mm
  of existing loft insulation.

What Is Your Loft For?

• Another way of looking at this, is to consider
  what your loft is going to be used for before you
  decide what to do.

4

• -Storage
• If youre using your loft for storage then you
  will want to lay boards over the beams.
• Insulate between the beams with mineral wool then
  lay rigid insulation boards on top, with wooden
  boards on top.
• You can buy insulation board pre-bonded to the
  wooden boarding to make this much easier.

5

• -Inaccessible
• If your loft is inaccessible, you can have blown
  insulation installed by a professional.
• They will use specialist equipment to blow
  fire-retardant.
• Loose insulation material made of cellulose fiber
  or mineral wool into the loft.

6

• -Loft Conversion
• You can insulate your room-in-the-roof by
  insulating the roof itself instead of the floor.
• Boards need to be cut to the correct width so
  they fit tightly between the roof beam.
• Walls in your roof space and around dormer
  windows need to be insulated and you can do that
  with rigid insulation boards.
