How much Insulation do I need?
The answer to that will depend on:
- what type of building you are insulating (domestic or non-domestic, new build or refurbishment),
- where you need to insulate (walls, roof, floor etc),
- how the building work is constructed (materials used etc) and,
- where in the UK the project is located (the rules are can differ for England, Scotland, Wales and NI).
To find out what minimum U-Value you need to achieve for your project to comply with building regulations, please go to:
- The Health and Safety Executive for projects in England
- Gov.scot for projects in Scotland
