Types of loft insulation roll
Before diving into the main types of loft insulation, let’s first understand warm and cold loft insulation.
You will need to insulate floor joists for a cold loft. This will prevent heat from getting into the loft. You can DIY it since it is cheap and also effortless to install. However, with a cold loft, you can face issues of temperature fluctuations and condensation. So, a cold loft might not be ideal for you if you have plans to transform your attic into a living space.
Contrary, if you need to come up with a warm loft, you should opt for insulation with a demarcation between the loft floor and the roof’s underside. This implies that some heat will get into the loft and regulate temperature. However, remember that the heat cannot escape via the roof.
We provide one main type of loft insulation roll:
Glass wool
Glass loft insulation roll, also known as fiberglass insulation offers an excellent thermal insulation because it is manufactured from glass fibre. During bonding of the glass fibre, small pockets of air are trapped between the materials enhancing its thermal insulation properties.
Glass wool is an environmentally friendly insulation since it is engineered from recycled glass. Glass loft roll at Insulation Wholesale is obtained from reputable brands such as Superglass Multi Loft Roll and URSA Loft Roll. We offer varying thicknesses of glass wool roll, usually ranging from 25mm to 200mm.
The benefits of glass wool is that it is insect repellent, fire-resistant, and eco-friendly since it is obtained from recycled glass.
Some cons include irritation to the skin, the need to wear protective gear. Its effectiveness is compromised when wet, and therefore not ideal to use in damp areas.
Benefits of loft insulation roll
Thought your loft was only important for keeping Christmas decorations? Here are the reasons why loft roll insulation is worth your effort and time.
- Your home will remain cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
- A perfectly-insulated loft implies you won’t face condensation issues as you would without it.
- If installed properly, loft insulation roll can be effective for up to forty years (and up to fifty years in the case of sheep’s wool).
- You will notice a significant improvement in the energy efficiency of your home. In fact, homeowners save up to £215 on energy bills yearly, according to the Energy Savings Trust.
- You will be contributing significantly to saving the environment. Do you know that a third of all carbon emissions are a result of heating draughty homes? Now you know!
- Reduction of outside noise. If you live near an airport or along a busy highway, you will notice a substantial noise reduction after installing loft insulation roll.
Costs and savings of loft insulation roll
The costs and savings of loft insulation roll are dictated by a number of factors such as the cost and quality of installation, the level of current insulation, cost and quality of materials, your home’s energy efficiency and the current energy utility bills.
Generally, loft installation will set you back £300 and you will recoup it in two years from the energy savings that you get.
How thick should a loft insulation roll be?
According to the UK regulations, the recommended depth of blanket style loft insulation roll is 250-270mm. If you bought your home a couple of years back, you should check loft depth as some years back, the recommended depth was 200mm.
Older homes have a loft depth of 100mm and need to be replaced.

FAQ
How to cut loft insulation roll?
Start by measuring how much insulation is required. Next, place the roll on a flat surface. This ensures you keep your cut straight and the material level. Mark your cutting line, then use a long-bladed utility knife or insulation saw for cleaner cuts.
If cutting a large piece, use a saw guide or a piece of timber to guide the utility knife to ensure the cut is straight.
Always remember to wear gloves, a mask, and eye protection when handling insulation to avoid irritation.
How to install loft insulation roll?
Step 1: Start by clearing out your loft so you can work in a clean, safe area.
Step 2: Measure between joists, and then cut the roll to the correct width. It’s easier to cut the roll through the wrapping paper as it keeps the insulation compressed and produces clean cuts.
Step 3: Lay the insulation between the joists and fit it snugly without compressing it.
Step 4: Protect any recessed lights using loft light covers so they don’t rub against the insulation.
Step 5: Don’t install the insulation over vents; leave all vents uncovered to prevent overheating or moisture build-up. To add a second insulation layer, lay it at right angles to the first layer to eliminate gaps and improve heat retention and maximise overall thermal performance.
How to roll out loft insulation?
- Unroll the insulation, then cut it to manageable lengths for easier handling. Roll it out, starting from the furthest corner. Work your way toward the hatch, pressing the insulation down gently between the joists. Be careful not to press down too firmly, as squashing the insulation may reduce its effectiveness. Fit the insulation around ducts and pipes, and ensure they are not covered.
