Room in Roof Insulation Scotland

Room in Roof Loft Bedroom Insulation Installers Scotland

Room in Roof Insulation in Scotland

Room in roof insulation is the name given when you insulate a loft space that is used as a bedroom or other living space. Homes that have a standard loft that has not been converted should have regular loft insulation installed. 

Unlike traditional loft insulation, which is installed on the floor of the loft, room in roof insulation involves insulating the sloping roof itself, making the converted space more energy efficient and comfortable.

Effective room in roof insulation with reduce your homes heat loss by up to 35 percent, for the best results you should have other home insulation installed including internal wall insulation and underfloor insulation.

Roof in roof insulation is different to roof insulation, as this can be installed even if you don’t have a convert loft and on the other areas of the main roof of your home.

Why should I insulate my loft bedroom?

Loft bedrooms are loft conversions that have been transformed from a traditional loft to a bedroom or other living space such as a spare bedroom. People also have their lofts converted into children’s play areas, home offices, home gyms and bedrooms with an en-suite and shower to provide an extra bathroom in their home.

All of these types of loft conversions normally normally come with some form of insulation, however, on many occasions the insulation tends to be sub standard and in some cases there is no insulation at all!

These types of room need insulation installed to make them habitable and most of your homes heat is lost through the roof so insulating this area is essential for effective home insulation.

Room in roof insulation is crucial in maximising the energy efficiency of converted attic spaces, ensuring that they meet building regulations and provide a comfortable living environment. Proper insulation in these areas helps homeowners save on energy costs and reduces their carbon footprint.

Room in Roof Insulation Installers Scotland

There are various types of insulation you can install that are suitable for room in roof insulation, however, as experienced insulation installers we have often discovered that foil insulation or PIR insulation boards are the most effective for room in roof spaces. Foil insulation is because it’s malleable, installing a double layer of foil for the best results. PIR boards are suitable for the same reason they are effective with loft insulation, matching the shape and slope of the roof above the loft space.

Envirosmart Limited are approved insulation installers for a wide range of insulation material, including wool and spray foam insulation. For sustainable wool insulation we install a variety of high quality insulation materials including Thermafleece sheeps wool insulation and Knauf Earthwool & Rockwool mineral wool insulation products.

The company rarely installs spray foam insulation due to issues with home insurance and the effects it can have on certain roofs. We are however Icynene approved installers meaning spray foam can still be fitted on more suitable commercial insulation jobs and certain types of domestic projects.

There are other insulation products we can install including SuperQuilt multifoil and rigid PIR insulation boards.

Given our vast experience installing these products, we know which material is best for the different kinds of loft and room in roof spaces found throughout parts of Scotland.

What our clients say about us

Insultation in Scotland



Initially we contracted Craig and his team to provide insulation for two attic rooms which are either freezing or much too hot and they ended up fitting a new kitchen too.
We can't recommend this firm highly enough, especially for the way they helped us through the unexpected discovery of damp.

Communication and customer service were excellent; friendly helpful worker were punctual, hardworking and cleaned up thoroughly.
Highly recommended.

Great service. Phoned on the Monday, Craig came out the next day to survey the loft. I felt it was a good price and booked the job in for the following Tuesday. Allan, Fraser and Callum came out and stripped all the rotten stuff out then boarded up exposed roof panels and installed new insulation. They tidied up as they left and I am now delighted with the quality of the job. Very professional from start to finish. 5 Stars

Ross McKinley, Edinburgh5* Bark Review, April 2021
Extremely pleased that we used Craig and his team to install pitched roof loft insulation in our 120 year old house. The lads were polite, pleasant and hardworking. They went that extra mile and left the previously neglected loft in mint condition. After sales service is second to none too. Thanks to all involved the difference the insulation has made is phenomenal. Would definitely use their services again.

I engaged Envirosmart to remove old insulation from my loft, replace with new and partially floor the loft.

    What is Room In Roof Insulation?

    As stated above, Room in roof insulation is when you insulate a bedroom or living space that has been created during a loft conversion. If the insulation from your loft has not been replaced since the loft was converted or you find that the insulation in your loft space is not warm enough to provide a comfortable temperature that you can live and sleep in, then room in roof insulation will be what is required.

     

    Room In Roof Insulation Benefits

    The main benefit of installing room in roof insulation is that it reduces your homes heat loss by up to 35 percent. 

    There are a bunch of other benefits to room in roof insulation that we have listed below:

    Loft insulation can improve your homes heat retention by up to 45%.

    The extra heat retention provided by room in roof insulation will make your home heat quick for longer reducing your need for central heating with a resulting saving on heating bills.

    Room in roof insulation will increase the EPC (energy performance certificate) rating of your property. In Scotland, homes should have an EPC rating above D. 

    Room in roof insulation provides a decent level of sound proofing, the effectiveness of any soundproofing depends on how thick an insulation you choose to have installed.

    The recommended insulation depth for an average loft or room in roof space in Scotland is 270 millimetres.

    Envirosmarts insulation installers will ensure we locate any drafts or gaps in your room in roof space, ensuring to close any off as part of professional insulation installation process.

    Professional installation of room in roof insulation will eliminate dampness in the air and all areas that we insulate.

    Best Material For Room in Roof Insulation

    The best insulation material for room in roof insulation is the similar to loft insulation. Foil insulation is the best type of insulation for room in roof spaces, with PIR insulation boards being another effective method as mentioned above. The SuperQuilt multi foil insulation that we install is more malleable and often the best fit for room in roof insulation jobs, PIR insulation boards are also effective for this type of space.

    In terms of the best thickness for room in roof insulation, it is the same as loft insulation with a recommended average of 270mm.

    Steps For Effective Room in Roof Insulation

    1. Location:

    • Insulation materials are installed between the rafters and under the roof tiles, directly on the inner surface of the sloping roof. This method provides a layer of thermal insulation within the roof structure of the converted room.

    2. Purpose:

    • The primary purpose of this insulation method is to keep the converted space warm during winter and cool during summer. It prevents heat loss through the roof and enhances energy efficiency by creating a thermal barrier within the living area of the house.

    3. Installation:

    • Installation of room in roof insulation requires careful placement of insulation materials between the rafters, ensuring complete coverage to minimize heat loss. It may involve using rigid foam boards, mineral wool, or other suitable insulation materials.

    4. Usage:

    • The room in roof insulation method is specifically applicable to houses where loft spaces have been converted into bedrooms, offices, or other living areas. It’s a way to ensure that these converted spaces are well insulated, making them comfortable for occupants throughout the year.
