Picking the right product

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.

Quantities: a worked example

A 10 × 8 m loft (80 m²) insulated from scratch to 270 mm needs about 10 rolls of 100 mm and 17 rolls of 170 mm, using typical roll coverage; coverage varies by brand. Try the insulation calculator

  • In summer Preston gets around 17h 06m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
