By insulating your attic Room, a thermal barrier is created. This barrier prevents heat escaping from the room. At the same time, it prevents unwanted heat entering the room. This is similar to the way a flask keeps drinks hot or cold

How is the Attic Room Insulated?

The attic room is insulated by using thermal boards (it has insulation material on one side and plasterboard on the reverse) that are battened onto the existing wall and roof areas. This is known as overboarding. The joints are then filled, and the walls are then skimmed to a smooth finish. Some areas such as the top ceiling and the stud wall may require insulation using earth wool. Finally the room is then painted with a colour of the customers choice (from our vast colour chart). Once completed it will look like you have a new room.

1. The Party/Gable Wall: This will be insulated by means of over boarding with thermal board. The board is internally fixed to the wall.

2. Sloping Ceiling: This will be insulated by means of thermal board

3. Dormer Walls: These will be insulated with thermal board.

4. Stud Walls: The stud wall can be over boarded with thermal board or if access can be obtained from the rear of the stud wall through a loft hatch then insulation can be done from the rear of the stud wall using 170mm Knauf Earth wool.

5. Residual Loft Floor: If access can be obtained from the rear of the stud wall through a loft hatch then this area is insulated with 300mm Knauf Earth wool.

6. Top Ceiling: Like the stud wall this can be insulated either by over boarding or if access can be gained through a loft hatch the insulation can be performed from above the stud wall using Knauf Earth wool.

7. New Skirting Boards: New skirting boards are fitted to the rooms.

8. Skimming: Once the insulation process is completed the joints will be filled. The walls are then skimmed with plaster to a smooth finish.

9. Painting the room: We will leave the room for 3 or 4 days to allow the plaster to completely dry before we paint the walls. All walls and ceilings are initially white washed then painted to a colour or colours of your choice.

10. Roll and Stroll Premium Carpet Protector: Prior to any work commencing all floor working areas are covered with Roll and Stroll Premium carpet Protector.
