Best Roof Insulation Options to Save You Money!

Posted on 1st September 2021

When it comes to your energy bills, the biggest chunk of your money goes towards heating your home. In an uninsulated home, roughly 25% of heat escapes from the roof. Without insulation, moisture from melting snow or rain can result in mould growth and permanent damage. Roof insulation is a smart way to insulate your home, save energy and reduce energy bills. In fact, roof insulation should be an integral part of a home conversion project. 

Roof insulation can lower your energy bills by as much as £315 a year, depending on your property. That’s why it’s important to find a roof insulation solution that’s ideal for your home. Here are some of the top roof insulation options to help lower your energy bills.

This non-combustible, lightweight insulation material is easy to install between common joist spacings and involves minimal wastage and on-site cutting. This is a high-quality and extremely durable product that’s easy to install. Boasting a thermal conductivity of 0.044W/mk, glass wool is an excellent option to insulate your loft.

Benefits of glass mineral wool insulation include efficient thermal insulation, excellent acoustic insulation, firesafe, long-term performance and light weight.
