Pitched roofs can be insulated to create either warm or cold roof spaces, and walls can be made energy efficient too.

Cold Roof - This is when you insulate the floor of the loft space. This is the lowest cost option for insulating a roof and uses either loft roll or insulated boards. High levels of thermal insulation can be achieved, current recommended depth is 270mm of loft roll. Mineral wool insulation rolls are lightweight, flexible, resilient and non-combustible. We are now able to offer a carbon zero loft roll from Knauf insulation.

Warm Roof - Insulation is placed in the plane of the roof pitch to create a warm roof space. This allows the attic to be utilised as extra living space enhancing the value and desirability of the dwelling without significantly altering the building.

Internal Wall Insulation - To improve the thermal performance of a house it may be necessary to install internal wall insulation, particularly in solid wall construction buildings. There are a number of internal wall systems available from the major insulation manufacturers, such as Celotex, distributed by the Travis Perkins Group companies

The PUR/ PIR range is specifically designed to provide simple solutions for overcoming localised thermal bridges and helps the overall energy efficiency of dwellings by limiting the amount of heat loss across the envelope of the building.

Air Tightness Testing, which measures uncontrolled air flow through a building, is now a Building Regulations requirement under Approved Document L1A. The result is used in the energy assessment (SAP) of the building to demonstrate compliance.

Travis Perkins Group has a wide range of products to prevent air loss by helping to seal cavities around pipes, cables, windows and doors.

Insulating external walls involves applying a decorative, weatherproof insulating treatment (between 50 and 100mm) to the outside of a wall.

External Insulation could save a home owner around £300 a year on energy bills and a three bedroom semi-detached house could save nearly 2.5 tonnes of CO2 a year. The application of external insulation is a specialist job, but with the introduction of new systems by major manufacturers, it is becoming an important energy efficiency solution for the trades to offer to their customers.
