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.

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
What will happen if there was no loft insulation?
Exactly what happened in the days when there was routinely no loft insulation, namely, people spent more on energy bills because they were losing heat through their lofts.
How does loft insulation stop conduction and convection?
Loft insulation stops conduction and convection as the insulation which is inserted into the wall cavity prevents the particles of heat energy from traveling through the wall cavity, this stops conduction from taking place. Loft insulation also prevents convection as the cavity insulation stops the air particles from moving, therefore they cannot transfer heat and convection cannot take place.
Why is there loft insulation?
There is loft insulation to keep in all the warm air from the heater
What is loft insulation used for?
It's used to insulate your loft.
Does loft isulation burn?
dependes what type of loft insulation you have
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.
What materials are used in loft insulation?

What thermal transfer does loft insulation reduce?
conduction
How heat loss is prevented by loft insulation?
my name is what
How much energy is saved by loft insulation?
40%
Where can one find information on loft insulation prices?
Loft insulation is a relatively inexpensive and easy way to save on energy costs. The cost of insulation varies depending on the size of the loft area. Local insulating companies will come to your home and give you a free quote for your insulating needs.
How the thickness of loft insulation affects heat loss?
The thicker the loft insulation the less heat escapes! The thicker the loft insulation is the more heat loss will be reduced as if it is thicker the more air is trapped between the layers of insulation and thermal energy cannot pass through trapped air causing it to not leave your home and therefore hating it
