Choosing mineral wool insulation

Keep it ventilated

When insulating a loft, keep eaves vents clear so the roof space stays ventilated.

Glass or stone wool?

Glass wool rolls are light and economical for lofts. Stone wool slabs are denser and often chosen for acoustics and fire stopping.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Estimating your mineral wool insulation

A 7 × 6 m loft (42 m²) insulated from scratch to 270 mm needs about 6 rolls of 100 mm and 9 rolls of 170 mm, using typical roll coverage; coverage varies by brand. Try the insulation calculator

Delivering mineral wool insulation in Buxton

Rolls are compressed and wrapped; they are light but take up space, so tell us if storage is tight. Buxton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Common questions from Buxton

Can I add other materials to my Buxton delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from mineral wool insulation to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

How thick should loft insulation be?

270 mm in total is the common recommendation, usually as 100 mm between the joists and 170 mm across them.

Is mineral wool fireproof?

Most mineral wool is rated Euroclass A1 or A2, which means non-combustible or of very limited combustibility.

Can you deliver mineral wool insulation to a site with restricted access in Buxton?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
