Choosing mineral wool insulation

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.

How much for a loft?

The common recommendation is 270 mm in total: usually 100 mm between the joists and 170 mm across them. Check the depth already there.

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.

Getting mineral wool insulation onto your Hereford site

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

  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • In summer Hereford gets around 16h 45m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Working out quantities for your Hereford job

A 6 × 7 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

Ordering mineral wool insulation for Hereford: FAQs

How many rolls do I need for my loft?
