Insulation can be rolled out onto the loft floor, but can also be added to awkward corners, pipes and roofs, depending on the type of insulation you use. The benefit of this is that it creates a barrier that slows down the heat leaving your home during the colder months, but can also reduce too much heat entering your home in summer.
