Insulation Depth Performance Comparison

100mm - Inadequate

Pre-1980s standard - 40% heat loss

150mm - Below Standard

1980s-2000s - 25% heat loss

200mm - Approaching

Early 2000s - 15% heat loss

270mm+ - Compliant

Current standard - 5% heat loss

270mm vs 100mm Performance:

Annual Energy Savings: £355+ more per year
Thermal Performance: 8x better U-value
Temperature Difference: 4-6°C warmer
Condensation Risk: 90% reduction
