Your attic room is a great use of additional space but it can be hard to maintain a consistent temperature in a room so closely located to the roof. Since a large proportion of heat from your home is lost through the roof, these attic rooms and loft rooms can be particularly difficult to heat, especially in cold winter months. In the UK, as more and more homeowners extend their properties with an attic or loft room, room in roof insulation should not be overlooked.
A ‘Room in Roof’ is essentially a room designed within the loft space, accessible via a permanent staircase. While these rooms typically feature sloping ceilings, the presence of certain window types, like Dorma or Velux, in structures such as bungalows, can alter this characteristic. For a deeper understanding of the various Room in Roof configurations, please refer to the examples provided below or contact our team for more details.
RIR insulation is expertly installed by both mechanically securing and adhering insulated backed plasterboard, known as PIR or Phirlonic Boards, to your existing sloped ceilings and internal walls prone to heat loss. The installation is completed with a fresh skim coat over the new boards, alongside the fitting of new skirting boards and window sills. All work is covered by the grant and comes with a 25-year guarantee.
