Attic Insulation Category Overview
Attic insulation is an essential component of home energy efficiency. It not only helps keep the warmth in during colder months but also keeps the heat out during hotter seasons. In this category, various types of insulation products are tailored to meet different insulation needs. Knowing the right product for your home or project can be the difference between saving money on energy bills and enduring uncomfortable indoor temperatures.
1. Kingspan Thermapitch TP10 Boards:
Kingspan is renowned for its high-quality insulation solutions, and the Thermapitch TP10 Boards are no exception. These boards come in a range of thicknesses from 50mm to 150mm, each offering varying degrees of insulation. Generally, the thicker the board, the higher the insulation capacity. These are ideal for homeowners looking for rigid, reliable, and effective insulation solutions.
2. Rockwool Roll Batt & Flexi Slab:
Rockwool products are made from stone wool insulation, which is known for its excellent fire resistance and soundproofing properties. For instance, the Rockwool Roll Batt 400MM x 3650MM 150MM and Rockwool Roll Batt 400MM x 4800MM 100MM are excellent for extensive coverage areas in attics. On the other hand, Rockwool Flexi Slabs, available in various sizes and thicknesses, are versatile and can be used in spaces that require a more flexible insulation solution.
3. Isover Spacesaver Rolls:
The Isover Spacesaver Rolls like the 200mm, 100mm, and 150mm variants provide excellent insulation. They are lightweight, easy to install, and perfect for homeowners wanting an efficient but less labor-intensive insulation solution.
4. Mannok Therm Floor Insulation:
Although primarily designed for floors, the Mannok Therm Floor Insulation range can also be used in attics that require extra sturdiness. Available in varying thicknesses and sizes, these are ideal for those looking for a robust and long-lasting insulation solution.
5. Xtratherm & Knauf Insulation Earthwool Loft Rolls:
Xtratherm offers a range of products suitable for different applications, including the tongue & groove and flat roof boards. Similarly, Knauf Insulation Earthwool Loft Rolls are another commendable choice, available in different thicknesses for varying insulation needs.
Choosing the Right Product:
When selecting the right insulation product:
- Consider the size and shape of your attic.
- Determine the desired insulation thickness and U-value (a measure of insulation efficiency).
- Think about ease of installation — rolls are generally easier to install than rigid boards.
- If fire resistance or soundproofing is a priority, consider stone wool-based products like Rockwool.
Always ensure that the chosen product fits the specific requirements of your project for maximum efficiency and value for money.
Remember, a well-insulated attic can drastically reduce energy bills, make the living space more comfortable, and increase the property's overall value. By choosing the right product from our extensive Insulation range, you're investing in a warmer, more energy-efficient future.
