Roof insulation… the quickest and cheapest way to reduce energy

Mineral Wool Loft Insulation for Warmer, Quieter, Safer Homes

You want real results: lower bills, a comfy home and a solution that doesn’t involve major reconstruction to your building. Mineral wool loft roll (such as Knauf Loft Roll 44) delivers exactly that—efficient, non-combustible, and built for British roofs. Barbican installs it the right way so you get the performance you paid for. If you want to utilize your newly insulated loft area we can install a raised floor for you to store your belongs and still install the recommended amount of insulation!

The Benefits Of Energy Saving

With the ongoing energy crisis and cost of living increase in the UK, now more than ever, people are looking to save energy. By far the biggest opportunity to save is on heating and hot water, as almost 80% of the energy used within a home is for these. Making your hot water and heating more efficient is the most effective way to reduce energy usage.

Barbican has the perfect solution to help reduce homeowners’ energy bills. Suitable for homes old and new, you can be sure to protect your energy savings.

  • Energy savings: Traps heat where you need it, reducing heat loss through the roof and cutting heating costs.
  • Comfort you can feel: Less temperature swing, fewer cold spots, and faster warm‑up times.
  • Fire safety: Glass mineral wool is non‑combustible (Euroclass A1) and doesn’t propagate flame.
  • Acoustic calm: Damps airborne sound, softening outside noise.
  • Moisture friendly: Vapour‑permeable and non‑hygroscopic—helps prevent condensation when loft ventilation is correct.
  • Sustainable choice: High recycled content and low‑binder formulations reduce environmental impact.
  • Durable and stable: Doesn’t slump like loose‑fill; friction‑fits between and over joists for long‑term performance.
  • Cost‑effective upgrade: Fast to install, minimal disruption, and one of the quickest paybacks among insulation measures.

We only install the strongest raised loft flooring product on the market. LoftZone’s raised floor system is supported by Tri and Uni-Supports, constructed from extremely strong engineering-grade recycled plastic, making it much stronger than the joists in a typical loft.

This system will raise your floor 279mm above the joists, leaving plenty of room for the Government-recommended loft insulation depth. This supporting structure creates a very strong and safe platform that easily surpasses the British Standard 6399-1:1996 for minimum floor load requirements.

This raised loft boarding system can be simply tailored to your loft’s dimensions to give you an integrated useable loft floor.
