How does loft insulation work?
Generally, the heat in your house rises. This can mean that a lot of heat is lost through the roof. If you put insulation in your loft, the insulation is a poor conductor of heat so the heat stays below the loft and your loft is cold. Then less heat gets to the roof and so less heat is lost.
How you can reduce radiation heat loss?
for instance, Heat loss through the roof of the house can be reduced by laying loft insulation. This works in a similar way to cavity wall insulation.
What materials are used in loft insulation?
plastic
How the thickness of loft instulation affects heat loss?
The thicker the loft insulation the less heat escapes The thicker the loft insulation, the more trapped air there is which helps to keep heat in as air is a good insulator.
How heat loss is prevented by loft insulation?
my name is what
Why is there loft insulation?
There is loft insulation to keep in all the warm air from the heater
Does loft isulation burn?
dependes what type of loft insulation you have
What is loft insulation used for?
It's used to insulate your loft.
How can you put insulation in to sentence?
the loft insulation is bad in that house

What would happen if there was no loft insulation?
With no loft insulation you would lose a lot of heat through your loft and be colder, and spend a lot more money on fuel to keep warm in winter.
