Room In Roof Insulation

Room in Roof Insulation

A room in roof (loft room) or attic room is simply defined by the presence of a fixed staircase to access the room. Many older properties that were originally built with room in roof were not insulated at the time. If insulation was installed, it is often inadequate by modern standards and the rooms are subsequently very expensive to heat.

Loft conversions that were also carried out more than 30 years ago are also likely to be poorly insulated, if at all, meaning that these rooms can be very cold in the winter and warm in the summer.

Here at SG Insulation, we specialise in this type of insulation. We have insulated thousands of these properties over the years and only use fully approved specialist insulation systems.

 Plasterboard backed with rigid insulation is fitted to the inside of your existing walls (heat losing walls). The insulation is usually made from one of several forms of foamed plastic. We use a premium PIR 63mm and fix the board wall using continuous ribbons of plaster or adhesive. Extra fixings hold the boards firm, and joints between boards are sealed to prevent air leaking out. Once the insulation has been installed the wall is plastered and left ready for your chosen paint colour so you can create the desired living space and make the room look new and fresh.
