Room In Roof

‘Room in Roof’ is a room within your roof space. It will usually have sloping ceilings visible in the room, however if there are full width dormer windows present, there may not be any sloping ceilings visible. A room in roof could be a converted roof space such as a loft conversion or an original part of the design such as the upper floor in a dormer bungalow.

Many older properties that were originally built with a loft/attic room or ‘Room-in-Roof’ were not insulated at the time. Even if insulation was installed, it is often inadequate by modern standards. They can feel draughty and cold in the winter months. Many loft rooms are difficult or impossible to heat. By insulating your room-in-roof you are conserving heat and energy and therefore money on bills too!

Key points

Room in roof can help boost the EPC rating on your home.

How does Room In Roof work?

The insulation boards are placed in the space between the rafters in the loft and act as a protective layer against the cold outside whilst keeping the warm air inside.

The rigid insulation structure provides a complete waterproof barrier and means that the rising warm air can’t escape.

 

Already have a converted loft space?

If you have a loft that is already converted into a liveable space it might not meet todays standards for insulation. There is then the option to fit insulation-backed plaster boards with the adequate thickness of insulation material to the existing ceiling and walls.

This does reduce the overall space, but provide excellent thermal benefits and can give you walls and ceiling slopes a new smooth appearance once it has all been finished with a skimmed plaster topcoat.
