Loft Insulation Leeds
Increasing energy demand is causing increasing pressures on fuel supplies and prices within developed societies, along with increases in greenhouse gas emissions in Leeds.
Higher quality, high-density insulation materials are increasingly needed to comply with upgraded building regulations for increased insulation levels and lower building heat losses. Several manufacturers developing high-performing products with increasingly better thermal properties are fulfilling the need for higher-performing materials and structures.
Leeds homes without insulation can lose as much as 25% of their heat through the roof. Effective loft insulation can prevent the loss of 15% of the heat, with additional savings resulting. Research has shown that 1 in every five attics are under-insulated, 20% have the wrong type, and 40% need insulation.
Poorly insulated homes drive up energy use, and with costs increasing, many are in fuel poverty. In addition to causing heat losses and increases in energy bills, poorly insulated lofts can cause many related structural and human problems, such as frost damage caused by condensation and the increased risk of respiratory problems related to mould and dampness. All new Leeds homes are built with loft insulation as a standard, based on the economic advantages to the owner.
