Fully Insulate The Loft Ceiling

Ecohome Insulation has created an easy-to-install, highly effective EcoPro Loft Ceiling Insulation Kit. (Under Rafter) When installed on your EcoPro Loft Ceiling (Otherwise referred to in the trade as Under Rafters), it reduces heat loss and consequently reduces your heating bills.

25% of the Heat you are paying for escapes via your Roof - So, by investing and installing this, you can start saving and get a return on your investment every single year! If you do not insulate your Loft, this in effect, means you are consuming 25% more energy than is necessary to get the same level result as someone who has effective Loft Insulation.

Due to how thin the insulation is, this is a great DIY space-saving insulation kit to upgrade the current insulation in your loft.

What Does the EcoPro Loft Ceiling Insulation Kit Include?

EcoQuilt Expert is a high-performing Multifoil Insulation, just 15mm Thick - Compressing to 6mm when installed. It is equivalent to 100 of Fibre / 50mm of Rigid Board Insulation. This Multifoil will therefore help you retain heat, with less Cost, Space, and Time. 

This comprises a Heavy-Duty Staple Gun and 5,000 x 14mm Staples to Staple the EcoQuilt Expert into place. 

Stainless Steel Scissors, suitable for Cutting Multifoils 

For maximum heat retention, you may want to consider installing a double layer of EcoQuilt Expert; simply double the amount of insulation per m2.

How To Insulate Your Loft Ceiling To Save on Energy Bills

How-To Guides
How to Insulate your Loft Ceiling
1. Install your first run of EcoQuilt Expert

Decide whether you would like to insulate vertically or horizontally, this decision usually depends on the length of your Roof Rafters. Then, roll out the Insulation and measure the amount of material required for a strip and cut, using the Multifoil Insulation Scissors supplied within the Loft Ceiling Insulation Kit: https://www.ecohome-insulation.com/product/loft-ceiling-insulation-kit/

2. Staple the EcoQuilt Expert in to Place

We advise that you staple every 300mm, to ensure that the Multifoil Insulation is held securely in place. Top Tip: Make sure the EcoQuilt is pulled taught, this will compress the layers and make the stapling process easier.

3. Install the next Layers of Multifoil

Ensure that you overlap the EcoQuilt by 50mm (minimum) - this will help to ensure that you have a continuous insulation layer. Failing to overlap will impact the performance, as it will allow for air to pass through.

4. Counter Batten (Optional)

Once all of your Roof Rafters are fully covered, you have successfully Insulated. If you are just using your loft for storage purposes, you may opt to leave your insulation exposed. If not, you can counter batten. Use 25mm x 38mm battens, these can be installed at right angled to the rafters. You can use battens that are deeper than 25mm should you wish. Battens will also be required for around the perimeters too.

5. Internal Finish

You can now screw the plasterboard into the battens.

6. Want to Double the Performance?

You can - You just Install two layers. This process is a little different, so if you do opt to install two layers, read from here. Roll out the Multifoil Insulation, but instead of stapling it to the front of the rafters - you want to staple it to either side of the joist (halfway up). By doing this, you will create an air cavity either side of the product even when you add your second layer.

7. Staple Next Layer

Overlap the next layer of Multifoil again by 50mm. Continue this process until you have full coverage all over.

8. Install your Second Layer of EcoQuilt

The second layer of insulation should be installed taught across the joists, so you have an air gap behind it. Staple the second layer to the front of the Roof Rafters. When you have a continuous double layer - you can then decide whether you wish to leave it exposed / board. Head to step 4 if you would like to board over the Insulation.

Question and Answer
Can I double up on the insulation?

Yes, you can do two layers of the EcoQuilt Expert Insulation. We recommend using a 25mm wooden batten over the first layer of insulation and attaching the second layer to the wooden battens. Or if the rafters of your loft are long enough you can recess the first layer of insulation into the rafters and then the second layer can sit across the rafters.

What should I use to cut the insulation?

In this kit, we provide a pair of 10” multifoil insulation scissors which are perfect for the job.

How do I measure the loft ceiling (under rafter)?

Measure the internal length (X) of the loft then measure the internal height (Y) from the Eaves to the Ridge at the top of the loft. Multiply X by Y this will give you Z. If you have two sloping roof sections multiply Z by 2. This will give you the total square meterage of your loft ceiling.

Do I need to overlap the insulation?

Yes, you do need to overlap the insulation otherwise you won’t get the best thermal performance. We don’t recommend taping and sealing the insulation in this application so overlapping the insulation will stop any draughts from getting in and warm air from escaping.

Will the foil insulation cause any problems with damp?

No, actually this will help prevent damp and mould and it’ll help reduce the risk of condensation.

Can I board over this insulation?

Yes, you can board over this insulation by adding wooden battens over the top of the insulation and attaching what you’d like to board over with to the wooden battens.

Are the timber battens included within the kit?

No, the timber battens aren't included these can be purchased at a local timber merchants.

Do I need any specific PPE to complete this job?

No, you don’t need any protective clothing, masks, or safety goggles as there are no harmful fibres in the insulation.
