Before you order 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.

Estimating your mineral wool insulation

A 10 × 6 m loft (60 m²) insulated from scratch to 270 mm needs about 8 rolls of 100 mm and 13 rolls of 170 mm, using typical roll coverage; coverage varies by brand. Try the insulation calculator

Delivery to Northampton: what helps

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

  • In summer Northampton gets around 16h 47m 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.
  • On busy streets in Northampton, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Common questions from Northampton

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.

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