Attic Room Heat Retention

 

  • If your house is a two-storey house with decent pitch, you will have attic or a functioning attic room. Heat from the floor below will rise and help heat that area.
  • Insulation of roof space is critical in an attic as this is the most shallow exterior of the house and heat will pour out if not properly insulated.
  • If you have a modern dormer bungalow, you may have a pre-cast concrete first floor. This keeps heat downstairs very effectively as you have a 9” base plus a 3” screed on top of it. Zoned heating via whatever system you have in the rest of the house is effective in the attic living area in this situation.
  • Put heavy blinds on the Velux windows in an attic room to prevent heat loss at night.
