Getting the right 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.

Keep it ventilated

When insulating a loft, keep eaves vents clear so the roof space stays ventilated.

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 7 × 6 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

Before your Washington delivery arrives

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

  • In summer Washington gets around 17h 21m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Mineral Wool Insulation in Washington: questions

Does mineral wool help with sound?

Yes. Acoustic rolls and slabs in stud walls and floors reduce sound passing between rooms.

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.

Can I add other materials to my Washington delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from mineral wool insulation to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

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

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