Step 1: Measure the Loft Space

Before you start, measure the loft's floor area to calculate how much insulation material you’ll need.

Step 2: Choose Insulation Type

Reflective insulation reflects radiant heat, keeping lofts cooler in summer and warmer in winter. It's lightweight, durable, easy to install, and energy-efficient.

Step 3: Clear the Loft

Remove any items stored in the loft and clean the space to prepare for insulation.

Step 4: Lay the Insulation

If using rolls, unroll the insulation between the joists on the loft floor. Ensure even coverage.

Step 5: Add Second Layer

To use the loft for storage, lay boards over the insulation, ensuring it doesn't compress the material.

Step 6: Ensure Ventilation

Maintain good airflow to prevent moisture and condensation buildup, which could damage the insulation.

Step 7: Wear Safety Gear

Use gloves, masks, and protective clothing to avoid irritation from insulation materials and to ensure safe handling.
