Loft Insulation Rolls
Using loft insulation rolls in your home or another type of building is an excellent way to keep it warm, and, with the money that you spend on loft insulation, you can see a return in the savings on your heating bills.
Attic insulation can also offer additional acoustic insulation, fire resistance and protect the building from moisture. Whether you use cheap loft insulation or the highest quality insulation rolls, you can help ensure your building is well-protected and insulated.
It’s likely that you’ll need more than one insulation roll, no matter how big or small your building is. For more information on any of our loft roll insulation, contact Workplace Interior Shop today.
What are Loft Insulation Rolls?
Loft roll insulation is designed to be placed in the gaps in your ceiling, but it can also be used in the gaps in your walls between layers of bricks to make a significant difference in the heating of your building.
Depending on the type of insulation and material used in your loft, a roll of insulation may vary in price. It’s also simple to install and available in many different sizes and thicknesses.
How Many Rolls of Loft Insulation Do I Need?
Before embarking on your searching for loft insulation deals, you’ll need to know how much insulation your loft will require. Luckily, using some simple maths, you can determine how many rolls of insulation you’ll need.
First, measure the loft and work out the size in square meters. Then, you can divide this by the size of the rolls of loft insulation you require. You will want to add 5-10% extra for wastage, leaving you with enough loft roll to insulate your loft fully.
How Much is a Roll of Insulation?

What Types of Loft Insulation Rolls are There?
There are three primary types of insulation rolls to consider using in your building, and the costs of the materials can vary. No matter which material you use to insulate your loft, you can help to make your building significantly warmer during the winter. The three main types of loft roll insulation are as follows:
Glass Wool
Glass wool insulation uses recycled glass that’s bound together, ensuring lots of packed air to enhance the thermal insulation properties of the roof insulation roll.
Sheep’s Wool
Loft insulation made with sheep’s wool is a natural material that’s highly efficient and offers acoustic insulation.
Mineral Wool
The third most common loft insulation material is mineral wool, which uses minerals which are spun like cotton candy to trap air and help insulate a building.
You’ll need to look at the options for rolls of loft insulation for your building and decide which is best. Before shopping for insulation, we recommend determining how much insulation you will need for your building.
How to Cut Loft Insulation Rolls
It’s relatively simple to cut the insulation on a roll and doesn’t require special skills. You’ll want to use a marker pen to mark out where you need to cut your rolled insulation. Then, there are several ways to cut it down to size: Using a utility knife or a carving knife, cut the loft insulation. Alternatively, you can use a pair of sheers to cut the insulation to the correct size.
How to Install Loft Insulation Rolls
A significant benefit of using cheap loft insulation rolls for your building is that they are quick and easy to install, and you can do the job yourself easily! You’ll need to inspect your loft before installing the insulation and ensure there is no rot in the wooden joists. Then, measure the gap between the joists and cut the insulation rolls to the correct size. Fill the cavity between the wooden joists with the cut loft insulation and ensure there are no gaps. Please ensure you use gloves and other protective equipment when installing your loft insulation and repeat the process until your loft is insulated fully (which shouldn’t take long!).
