Скачать или смотреть HGN Building Sense: Tricky but Essential - Insulating Flat Roofs and Sloping Ceilings

We all know that heat rises - and for the same reason we know that loft insulation is crucial to energy efficiency in the home. But how well do you really know your loft? Can you even access all of it? Even if you don’t have a loft you still need to insulate above your head!

A lot of homes have a typical ‘cold roof’ where the ceiling is flat and the loft filled with insulation - but how should you do this right? Many homes feature extensions, often built in the 20th century without much consideration to energy efficiency - so they can be a major source of heat loss.

In this talk, Ben Nother and David Copeland and from ecological design and build company Hawkland explain your options for insulating these typical problem areas including a discussion of what materials to use in what setting.
