Step 3Seal it!
The roof is only as well-insulated as its weakest point. If there's a gap in your insulation, heat will make a beeline for it and escape. It's like pressurising a balloon: if there's a tiny pinprick hole, all the air will eventually escape from it.
So the details are crucial. With a quilted loft, the idea is to make an airtight seal. So don't leave any gaps, or you've wasted your money.
NB - The maker's instructions assume you are going to put a ceiling in to make a liveable space; I wasn't doing this, so used no battens etc.
