  • Loft insulation has a low thermal conductivity so the transfer of thermal energy will be significantly reduced.
  • Loft insulation has a high thermal conductivity so the transfer of thermal energy will be significantly increased.
  • Loft insulation has a no thermal conductivity so the transfer of thermal energy will be significantly stay the same.
  • Loft insulation has a low thermal conductivity so the transfer of thermal energy will be significantly increased.
