JJR Insulation

Depending on a clients particular requirement they will generally need to insulate their attic space at ceiling level or at the pitch. By ceiling level we mean that the insulation will be rolled out between and over the joists on the floor of the attic. Pitched roof insulation is placed into the slope of the attic space between the timbers at head level.

​

If the attic is not a living space within the house and only used for storage the attic should be insulated at ceiling level. This will prevent the heat from the house entering the attic space. If the attic space is used as a live in area then the pitch of the attic is insulated. This means that the heat from the downstairs section of the house is free to circulate into the attic.
