Foil loft insulation is a type of insulation material that consists of layers of reflective foil and fibrous insulation. It helps to reduce heat transfer by reflecting radiant heat back into the living space, making it an effective choice for improving energy efficiency in homes.

Foil loft insulation works by reflecting radiant heat rather than absorbing it. This means that in winter, it helps keep warmth inside the home and in summer, it can help keep the heat out, maintaining a more comfortable indoor temperature year-round.

Yes, foil loft insulation can be installed relatively easily by professionals. It is typically laid across the joists in the loft space and can fit around obstacles like pipes and beams for a seamless installation.

• Energy efficiency: It helps reduce heating and cooling costs by keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
• Space-saving: Foil insulation can be thinner than traditional insulation options.
• Mold prevention: Foil insulation can help control humidity levels and minimize the risk of mold growth in the loft.

While DIY installation is possible, it's recommended to hire professionals for the best results. Proper installation is crucial to ensure efficacy, avoid gaps, and meet building regulations.

When installed correctly, foil loft insulation can last for many years, often up to the lifespan of the building. Regular inspections are advisable to ensure it remains in good condition.

Yes, there are often grants or vouchers available to help subsidise the cost of installing foil loft insulation. We can help you source and apply for these schemes.

Foil loft insulation is suitable for most homes, particularly in areas with temperature fluctuations. It works well in conjunction with other types of insulation and can be effective in both new and existing homes.

While foil loft insulation is primarily designed for thermal efficiency, it can also provide some level of sound insulation. However, for significant noise reduction, additional materials may be needed.

Minimal maintenance is required. It’s a good idea to check the insulation periodically for signs of wear, damage, or gaps, especially after extreme weather events.
