Skeilings; the sloped ceiling sections between loft and external wall are often small but technically complex areas. Frequently uninsulated or poorly treated, they can cause thermal bridging which in turn can lead to mould growth, and condensation.
Our latest guidance document “How to Approach Retrofitting Skeilings” is now available.
- Aligned with PAS 2035:2023
- Clearly defines what a skeiling is and why it matters
- Explores key considerations like ventilation strategy, insulation methods, and thermal bridging
- Includes a section on product selection for various build types
- Presents robust, technically-informed retrofit options, supported by diagrams and risk assessments
- Supports decision-making between internal and external insulation approaches
Whether you’re delivering PAS-compliant retrofit programmes or specifying fabric upgrades, this resource supports informed, whole-house design decisions on a complex and easily mishandled building element.
Correct skeiling insulation improves thermal comfort and significantly reduces the risks of condensation and mould, easing the physical and mental strain residents face when living in unhealthy environments.
