 If your attic was last insulated before 2006, you may now require a substantial top-up of insulation to meet today’s recommendations. We recognize more and more requests for a provision of flooring for storage purposes in attics.

Sometimes a floor is raised just 4 inches higher than the existing joists (leaving an 8 inch gap for 12 inches of insulation or the rigid insulation fitted on top does not give you the equivalent of 300mm loft roll.

Example:

100mm loft roll between joists plus 98mm rigid board might give you a U value of 0.16

300mm loft roll uncompressed should get you closer to 0.15 (the lower the U value the better)
