OK ~____________________________________________ Over 100 mm MAY NEED TOPPING UP ~ _____________________ Between 70 mm and 100 mm REQUIRES RETROFIT~ _________________________________ Below 70 mm |

This Rule of Thumb has been created for the most common types of older ceiling insulation materials – glass ???bre insulation, and macerated paper insulation. It may also be applied to blown wool insulation. Most common types of older insulation would have been at least 100mm thick when new, however some settlement or compression can be expected for older insulation. In general, all areas of ceiling insulation should have a thickness greater than 70 mm above all accessible habitable spaces, as shown below:Underfloor Insulation Guidelines
The under???oor insulation must cover all accessible parts of the ???oor below the habitable spaces of the dwelling, except where clearances are required – e.g. for pipework –. The insulation must be in reasonable conditin – damage such as rips, tears, or salt or dust deposits on the shiny face of foil insulation degrades the performance of foil insulation. It is common to ???nd damage to under???oor foil insulation. Where existing insulation is damaged, degraded, missing or incomplete, new non-electrically conductive under???oor insulation must be installed with an R-value of at least R 1.3 from 1 July 2016. |
