What is the best loft lining?

Deciding what is the best type of loft insulation for your home depends on the accessibility of the loft space, property age – and your budget.

Experienced loft lining contractors will advise you on the best options, but here's a rundown of the options:

• Blanket insulation – Fibreglass, mineral fibre or sheep’s wool rolls. Affordable and easy to install

• Loose-fill insulation – Blown fibre made from cellulose, mineral wool or cork. Eco-friendly but messy to fit and needs safety gear

• Sheet insulation – Rigid boards that are durable, moisture-resistant and highly insulating, though more expensive

• Spray foam insulation – Expands to fill gaps and awkward spaces. However, it is not suitable for all homes as it may reduce ventilation. More on that below
