Attic insulation works by creating a barrier to the hot air which is rising from the lower levels of your house towards the roof.

Hot air rises and it will easily escape through your roof unless you place something in its way. The air pockets in insulation trap that hot air and prevent it from being lost into the atmosphere.

It is recommended that at least 300mm thick insulation is used in the attic of all homes. At this level, the least amount of heat will be lost. In most cases insulation is made from mineral wool or natural wool.

Earthwool Loft Roll Insulation is primarily used for the thermal insulation of pitched roofs at ceiling level and it can also be used to thermally insulate floors. When used to insulate at ceiling level it is usually laid in two layers, with the first layer between the joists and the second thick top layer over, and at right angles to the joists.
