Stuffed Loft – Squashed Insulation – Lift Your Loft Stuff Slogan:
About:

• 80% of homes rely on loft space for storage of possessions and belongings
• Speculative Housing Developers are regulated to highly insulate roofs (most of the time they do) but not provide loft storage space
• 80% of homes use their highly insulated loft space for storage
• 80% of homes let their possessions squash their thick loft insulation
• 26% of homes do not realise that squashed insulation does not work as well
• Squashed loft insulation loses over twice as much heat in winter as lofty loft insulation
• Squashed loft insulation permits solar heated lofts (>40 degrees C) to conduct heat downwards and overheat the top floor rooms in summer
• Lift Your Loft Stuff and put it on a Raised Storage/Access Deck
• Let your loft insulation Loft to its intended thickness
• Let your loft insulation do its thing
• Close the Performance Gap
