What is room in roof insulation?

Room-in-roof insulation is typically added to a property which has had a loft conversion that is accessed from a fixed staircase, but it can also be an original building feature.  

Normally a room in the roof will have sloping ceilings, and dormer or sloping style windows on the upper floor. 

A room in the roof can have multiple different heat loss elements, these include sloped ceilings, stud walls, dormer and gable walls and a flat ceiling.   

If these elements of the roof if not insulated correctly, heat will be escaping causing the room to be cold and a higher cost to heat. 

It is important that each element of the room is appropriately considered and incorporated into the system design to prevent thermal bridging and maximise energy efficiency. 

What are the benefits of room in roof insulation?

Creates a thermal barrier
Room-in-roof insulation prevents heat from being lost and keeps the room warmer, by creating a thermal barrier between the home and outdoor elements.
Saves you money
Preventing heat loss in your home can reduce your energy bills as more heat is maintained within the walls.
