Loft insulation prevents loss of heat from your house. So you use less energy to heat your house. As most of our energy still comes from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and because this burning releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas causing global warming, then loft insulation has a good effect on the environment.

How does loft insulation work?
Loft insulation works by reducing the transfer of heat between your house and the outside environment. It acts as a barrier to prevent warm air from escaping your home in the winter and also helps to keep your home cool in the summer by preventing heat gain. This can lead to energy savings and increased comfort in your home.
Why are duvets and lofts insulation good insulators?
Duvets and loft insulation are good insulators because they trap air within their layers, creating a barrier that helps reduce heat transfer. The air pockets in duvets and loft insulation act as a buffer, preventing heat from escaping and keeping the surrounding environment warmer. Additionally, the materials used in duvets and loft insulation are designed to be thermally efficient, further enhancing their insulating properties.
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.
Can loft insulation be put over existing carpet in loft?
No, loft insulation should not be installed directly over existing carpet in a loft. Carpets can trap moisture, which may lead to mold and mildew issues, compromising the effectiveness of the insulation. It is important to ensure that the loft space is properly prepared, typically involving the removal of any flooring materials like carpet, to allow for adequate ventilation and proper insulation installation.
What thermal transfer does loft insulation reduce?
conduction
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
