100mm Knauf Earthwool Loft Roll 44 Insulation Combi-Cut Applications
Earthwool Loft Roll 44's primary use is for the thermal insulation of pitched roofs at ceiling level, although it can also be used to thermally insulate floors. These 1140mm wide short length rolls are supplied partially perforated to produce either 2 rolls 570mm wide or 3 rolls 380mm wide.
Primary Applications:
- Pitched roofs at ceiling level
- Floors
When used at ceiling level it is usually laid in two layers, with the first layer between the joists and the second layer over, and at right angles to the joists. A first layer will give a good enough thermal performance, but a second layer will improve the thermal resistance of the buildup even further.
The rolls are easier to install correctly than other insulants such as rigid boards because they adapt to any slight imperfections in the substrate and knit together, eliminating any air gaps.

Knauf Earthwool 100mm Installation
Knauf Insulation Loft Roll 44 insulation is designed for installation in lofts between suspended timber floors and pitched roofs at ceiling level. Unlike insulation boards, rolls do not have facings. In most cases, you will have to install protective sheets on top of the roll to ensure its longevity.
