Room-in-roof insulation

What is room-in-roof insulation?

Do you have a converted loft or attic room that feels uncomfortably cold in the winter and too hot in the summer? Room in roof insulation is the perfect solution.

Unlike standard loft insulation, which is laid on the floor, this solution is fitted into the sloped sides of the roof, transforming your living space into a comfortable, energy-efficient room you can use all year round.

Benefits

Insulating a room in the roof is one of the most effective ways to make your home more energy-efficient and comfortable. With an insulated room in the roof, you can expect:


Consistent Comfort: By preventing heat from escaping in winter and entering in summer, it keeps your converted loft at a comfortable temperature all year.


Lower Energy Bills: With a well-insulated roof, you'll reduce your reliance on heating and cooling, leading to significant savings on your energy bills.


Environmental Impact: By consuming less energy to heat or cool your home, you'll reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future.


Improved Home Value: A properly insulated and comfortable loft room can add value to your property.


Quiet Living: The insulation material also acts as a sound barrier, helping to reduce external noise from rain and traffic.

How It Fits in Your Home

How It Fits in Your Home Room in roof insulation is designed for a converted loft space that you use as a living area. It works best along with other solutions, so it’s ideal for those considering a larger-scale upgrade.

  • Materials: The type of insulation used (blanket, board, or foam) will be chosen based on the structure of your roof and your specific needs.

  • Installation: The installation process involves fitting the insulation material between the rafters and then covering it with a plasterboard finish. This ensures a clean, seamless look that blends in with the rest of your room.
