Uninsulated Room in Roof
Installing insulation in your room in the roof can lead to significant energy savings, which can result in lower energy bills and a more comfortable living space. Here are some of the ways in which insulation can save you money:
-
Reduced heating and cooling costs: Insulation helps regulate the temperature in your home, keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer. This means you will use less energy to heat and cool your home, resulting in lower energy bills.
-
Improved energy efficiency: Insulation helps reduce the amount of heat lost through the roof, making your home more energy efficient. This means that your heating system will not have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature, which can also reduce wear and tear on your heating system and extend its lifespan.
-
Enhanced comfort: With proper insulation, your home will be better able to maintain a consistent temperature, making it more comfortable to live in. This can help reduce the need to turn up the heat in winter or turn on air conditioning in summer, leading to further energy savings.
-
Reduced carbon footprint: By reducing your energy consumption, insulation can help you reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
In conclusion, installing insulation in your room in the roof can have a number of financial and environmental benefits, including lower energy bills, improved energy efficiency, enhanced comfort, and a reduced carbon footprint. Whether you are looking to save money or live a more sustainable lifestyle, insulation is a cost-effective solution that can make a big difference.
Installation Process
Pitched Roof- High density batts are secured to the walls and ceilings of the attic rooms, with slabs of insulation fitted between exposed rafters or beams. A layer of plasterboard is then installed over the insulation material and skimmed with plaster ready for decorating. Skirting boards, radiators and light fittings will be removed prior to the insulation and replaced afterwards.
Dormer Roof- Many dormer room-in-roofs can be too hot in summer and too cold in winter which makes them inefficient without adequate insulation. The process is the same as for pitched roof insulation.
Attic Room - A typical attic room has stud walls at the sides of the attic, squaring off the eaves space to create a box style room. The eaves are accessible through a small hatch for maintenance and insulation purposes. The stud walls are insulated with rock wool that is netted into place on both sides and the ceiling. The eaves area is insulated by sliding insulation boards up into the ceiling void between the rafters
