Bungalows: a whole house worth of loft to get right
In a bungalow every room sits under the roof, so the loft insulation matters for the whole house. The loft is big, low and usually easy to cover well.
Illustration: a bungalow loft
| Why it matters | Every room loses heat upwards into the loft |
|---|---|
| Typical loft | As big as the house, often a low pitch |
| What suits it | Deep wool across the whole floor |
| Watch for | Low eaves, where airflow must stay clear |
The whole house is upstairs, in a way
In a two-storey home only the bedrooms sit under the loft. In a bungalow, every room does. That makes good loft insulation especially worthwhile.
A big, low space
Bungalow lofts cover the whole footprint of the house, often under a gentle pitch. We cover the floor evenly, taking care at the low eaves so the airway stays open.
Room for storage
A raised floor near the hatch gives you storage while the rest of the loft keeps its full depth.
Common questions
Is it a big job?
There’s a lot of floor, but it’s usually straightforward. We give a time estimate in the quote.
Can I store things up there?
Yes, on a raised floor so the insulation underneath isn’t squashed.
Do low eaves cause problems?
They need care so the insulation doesn’t block the airflow. We fit trays to keep them open.
