Loft insulation helps to stop energy loss in the home by trapping hot air leaving through convection, radiation, and conduction. It acts as a barrier that prevents the transfer of heat between the interior and exterior of the home. When hot air rises and tries to escape through the roof, the insulation prevents it from escaping, keeping the interior of the home warm. Additionally, the insulation helps to keep the heat inside the home by preventing it from being conducted through the ceiling and roof. This ultimately helps to reduce the amount of energy needed to heat the home, saving on heating costs and reducing energy consumption.
