What is the ideal thickness for a loft insulation? Does it depend on your home?
Expert Trade Answers
Best Answer
"170mm is good enough to lay in your loft. If you put more it won't really be much better but don't put less"

"Hi Christian,
The current minimum standard is 270mm. A lot of newbuild properties we install our boarding into have as much as 400mm but 270mm is the standard.
Kind regards
Gavin"
