Getting the right mineral wool insulation

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.

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.

Quantities: a worked example

A 6 × 8 m loft (48 m²) insulated from scratch to 270 mm needs about 6 rolls of 100 mm and 10 rolls of 170 mm, using typical roll coverage; coverage varies by brand. Try the insulation calculator
