A considered build-up
Internal roof insulation
Insulating the pitched roof internally, based on the existing construction and intended finish.

Attic insulation for better comfort and reduced heat loss
An appropriate insulation boundary helps keep warmth within the intended heated zone. Whether the pitched roof or attic floor is the logical approach depends on the property and how the space is used.
Comfort upstairs
First decide which space should be heated
An attic used as a comfortable heated room needs a different assessment from an unheated storage attic or loft. With pitched-roof insulation, the attic remains inside the insulated zone; floor insulation can place the boundary lower.
We review the existing build-up, access and visible connections before agreeing an approach. This keeps recommendations tied to the property rather than a single standard solution.
Reduce unwanted heat loss
When attic insulation is relevant
Comfort, use or a wider renovation can all be the reason.
- A cold or draughty attic
- A pitched roof without a suitable insulation layer
- An unheated attic where the floor boundary may be relevant
- An attic being finished or renovated at the same time
SCOPE
Assessment before material selection
We align the insulation zone and details with what is already present.
- Current and future attic use
- Existing roof, floor and insulation build-up
- Visible or known moisture and ventilation context
- Connections at roof windows, knee walls and technical areas
The appropriate method and specifications are defined for the property and selected solution.
METHOD
From intended use to insulation scope
A clear insulation boundary guides the rest of the plan.
Discuss use
We establish whether the attic will be heated, occupied or mainly used for storage.
Review the build-up
Existing layers, access and connections are assessed.
Choose an approach
Pitched roof, attic floor or another appropriate scope is agreed.
Install insulation
We carry out the agreed insulation work carefully.
Coordinate the finish
Any sheet or detail finishing follows the agreed scope.
BUILD-UP AND MATERIALS
Pitched roof and attic floor are different choices
Internal pitched-roof insulation keeps the attic inside the insulated zone. Insulating the attic or loft floor may instead suit a space that is not intended as a heated living area.
Materials and build-up follow the technical context. We therefore make no universal Rd or Rc promise and state no fixed energy saving without a specified, assessed solution.

Attic insulation questions
The main distinctions and conditions in one place.
Should I insulate the roof or the attic floor?
That depends on attic use, the property build-up and the intended heated zone. Your situation needs assessment before that choice is made.
Does attic insulation always save the same amount?
No. The effect depends on the existing property, chosen build-up, execution and use. We do not promise a fixed percentage.
Could a subsidy apply?
A subsidy may apply to certain insulation measures. Conditions change and depend on the property, the measure and the current scheme.
Does ventilation need consideration?
The existing moisture and ventilation context belongs in the assessment. Any measures depend on the building situation.
Can the attic be finished after insulation?
Yes. Finishing can be coordinated within the same project where appropriate, with sequence and details agreed in advance.
Can project partners enquire too?
Yes. For renovation and energy-efficiency projects, we discuss scope, scheduling, information exchange and capacity per enquiry.
