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.
Is it true that heat is an example of insulator?
An insulator prevents heat from being transferred. Good insulators include, wood, rubber, air and anything like loft insulation that contains a lot of air. Heat itself is not an insulator.
Insulation is a material that has lots of pockets of trapped air. Air is a good insulator without loft insulation the roof space is full of air so why does that not keep temperature stable?
The insulation is a better insulator than air is. Pockets are there to allow 'slow' airflow so the house breathes and keep the insulation from molding.Also the air only acts as an insulator if it is trapped. If free it moves around and loses it insulating ability. Air in your attic (loft) Does act like insulation, but a very poor one.The same principle is in your double pane storm windows. if one of the panes crack, or breaks, the insulating value of the window falls.
Is oxygen a good insulator?
Oxygen is considered to be a good insulator. This is a non-metallic element that can be used for insulation purposes.
Is fiberglass a insulator or a conductor?
Fiberglass is a good insulator. It's often used in home insulation!

Why does loft insulation help prevent heat loss from homes?
Loft insulation contains trapped air which is a good insulator as the particles are not close together. This means that the heat energy can not be passed on through the roof as easily. P.S Kat <3 Joe H 4 ever!!! <3

Why is insulation a good insulator?
a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm
Why is there loft insulation?
There is loft insulation to keep in all the warm air from the heater
Is a sponge a good insulation?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator

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.
