Props of Loft Insulation
Poor loft insulation allows heat to escape upwards, making your home colder and increasing heating costs. While it might seem counterintuitive, loft insulation also helps to keep your home cooler in the summer by preventing heat from entering through the roof.
Here's why:
Heat Rises:
Warm air naturally rises, and without proper insulation, it escapes through the roof, making your home colder and your heating system work harder.
Loft Insulation Acts as a Barrier:
Insulation, like a thick blanket, traps heat in your living space and prevents it from dissipating into the loft and beyond.
Reduces Heat Transfer:
Insulation works by slowing down the transfer of heat through conduction, convection, and radiation.
Keeps Your Home Cooler in Summer:
By preventing heat from entering through the roof, loft insulation can also help keep your home cooler in the summer.
Reduces Energy Bills:
Properly insulated lofts can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs.
In short, good loft insulation is essential for maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home throughout the year and for reducing energy consumption.
Installing loft flooring usually does not require planning permission, as it falls within permitted development rights. Should you have any questions, we are always happy to provide guidance.
