Insulating Attics and Lofts with Pavatex Wood Fibre Insulation

If the attic is not going to be used for living accommodation it is recommended to adequately insulate the attic floor to prevent the heat rising into the unused attic space. It is estimated that 25% of internal heat escapes through un-insulated roofs or attic floors. When insulating attics it is easiest to place Pavaflex flexible insulation batts between the floor joists on a timber floor. This breathable, natural insulation should fit snugly between the joists so that no gaps remain at the edges. However do not cover up the ventilation areas of the attic space or condensation will become a major problem. Pavatherm wood fibre rigid boards could also be cut to size so that they fit tightly between the joists but this can be a difficult task to complete on-site.
