Mineral Wool Insulation: choosing well

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.

How much will you need?

An 8 × 5 m loft (40 m²) insulated from scratch to 270 mm needs about 5 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 Ipswich

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

  • With roughly 7h 44m of daylight in Ipswich around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Common questions from Ipswich

How many rolls do I need for my loft?

Divide the loft floor area by the coverage printed on the roll, for each layer. Coverage varies by brand and thickness; a 100 mm roll typically covers around 8 m² and a 170 mm roll around 5 m².

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

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.

Do you deliver mineral wool insulation to trades and homeowners in Ipswich?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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.
