Roof Insulation

Roof Insulation, or Loft Insulation, can save you a considerable amount on your energy bills, especially during the long winter months. During the summer it will even help keep your house feeling fresh and cool. The average house hold could save up to £145 a year on energy bills. The savings made means that roof insulation will pay for itself within 2-3 years.

Roof Insulation could refer to three services, the insulation of a loft, both the loft and a roof, or the specific insulation of the interior of a roof. It is important to establish, when ordering Roof Insulation, what measures are going to be installed.

Roof Insulation can be made of different materials, each with their own advantages. Glass mineral wool is very cost effective material, it is relatively cheap but has very good insulation properties. Expanded, or extruded, polystyrene is not as good insulator as mineral wool though the installation is straight forward. Expanded polystyrene boards can be purchased pre cut and shaped.

The government have made grants available to cover up to 70% of the cost of Roof Insulation for all households in the UK. Some households receiving specific benefits and those over 70 years of age could qualify for a full grant, covering the whole cost of Roof Insulation.

Easy installation and with government grants available there is no reason why your property should be lacking Roof Insulation. Visit www.blcpropertyservices.com for more information.
