Loft insulation for Newtown homes

With 24% of households in semis, a lot of Newtown lofts double as storage. A raised floor keeps your things and your warmth.
In a Newtown home that needs more loft insulation, you might notice an icy hatch above the stairs, boxes sitting on the insulation or a top floor that feels colder than downstairs. The loft is usually the place to start.
