What is rafter insulation?

Because the whole roof slope, the gables and the party walls now have to be insulated, this costs much more than insulating the floor and saves less heat for the money. It earns its place when you need a warm loft. More about rafter insulation.

Questions about rafter insulation in Ayrshire and Arran

How do I book a survey in Ayrshire and Arran?

Send the form or call us. We call back to agree a time and confirm it in writing.

Do you cover the whole of Ayrshire and Arran?

Yes. We cover every town and village in Ayrshire and Arran, including Kilmarnock, Ayr and Irvine.

Can I use the loft as a bedroom after rafter insulation?

Insulation alone does not make a loft habitable. Fire escape, stairs, floor strength and headroom all come into a conversion, which needs building control.

Will it cause condensation?

It can if the build-up is wrong for the roof. Old bitumen felt needs a ventilation gap behind the insulation; a modern breathable membrane may not. We check before we design it.
