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
