Loft Insulation
Loft insulation is a barrier of material in your roof space which traps heat.
What is Loft Insulation?
Loft insulation is a barrier of material in your roof space which traps heat. It can either be laid between the joists (the horizontal beams along the floor of your attic) or the rafters (the angled beams that support the roof).
Insulation is almost like a big fluffy blanket which sits inside your loft what slows down the transfer of heat between your living space and the outside world. Insulation not only warms your home in winter, but keeps it cool in summer.
Installing loft insulation may be something you can do yourself, depending on your level of DIY mastery and on which loft insulation option you choose. Alternatively, you can hire a qualified specialist installer. Remember to always check for damp and condensation issues before starting loft insulation.
The Mick George Group have a full range of insulation material that are suitable for all construction projects. From loft insulation to insulation boards, we have a range of materials that can be used for your roof, floors or walls, in a range of sizes and types to suit all your needs.

In most circumstances removing your old insulation isn’t necessary and it can actually be quite beneficial to leave it.
This is as most insulation will retain its thermal properties so leaving it in place will mean that you continue to benefit from it whilst also having an additional layer of insulation on top!

Current government recommendations are for loft insulation to achieve a depth of between 250mm and 270mm but some new properties are increasing their level of loft insulation to 300mm. Again, as long as the loft has adequate ventilation, this is fine.

It is perfectly safe for household insulation to touch wires provided the wires or cables are electrically insulated.
There also are techniques to make insulation fit better around wires. However, under no circumstances should thermal insulation make contact with live uninsulated wires and cables.

Many of us store old bits and pieces in the loft like luggage and Christmas decorations, but one of the biggest problems is storing these on wool insulation in the loft.
For one, boxes will compress the insulation, making it less effective in terms of energy savings.
