Homeowners looking to embark on a DIY project over the Easter weekend may wish to consider DIY loft insulation, it has been claimed.

　   Using space insulation products, residents can improve the acoustics and heat efficiency of their homes in as little as a single day's work, says packinsulation.com. Installing loft insulation is a relatively simple job which can be carried out by anyone, irrespective of their DIY skills, the company stated.

　   It explained that Space Blanket - a fully encapsulated, aircellfoam loft insulation material- can be used between or above ceiling joists, while Space Board is ideal for use above or below a chipboard loft deck.

In addition, Space Loft Roll is perforated at different widths, making it suited to either 400mm or 600mm joist spacings, and Rafter Roll - a semi-rigid foam insulation roll - can provide insulation between the loft rafters. Each of these products is free from petrochemicals, artificial colours, bleach and dyes, making them ideal for a DIY installation, packinsulation.com noted. Space insulation can help homeowners cut their fuel bills, while playing their part in reducing climate change.
