Fitting internal ceiling insulation can reduce heat loss in your home if you have concrete or solid floors and ceilings – or a flat roof.
Several types of insulation are available: standard, which also provides good sound insulation, and new technology, which is quicker and easier to install.
How it works
- Standard – insulated plasterboard is attached to your ceiling, usually adding about 40mm to its depth
-
New technology – thin flexible coverings similar to wallpaper (usually around 10mm thick) are attached to your ceiling, providing a finish that’s often more aesthetically pleasing than standard
How it’s installed
- Standard – insulated plasterboard is fitted onto 25mm thick wooden battens, attached to your ceiling, requiring the removal and re-fitting of any ceiling roses and coving
- New technology – flexible insulating coverings are attached to the ceiling using a special adhesive and then rendered or covered with wallpaper or tiles to your taste
