Mineral Wool Insulation: choosing well

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.

How delivery works in Wigston

  • With roughly 7h 38m of daylight in Wigston 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.
