What is 'attic' 🧑‍🔧

Do you really want to learn something about "What is 'attic'"? Yes? Let's just get this party started!

A quick answer is…

The part of a building immediately below the roof and entirely or partly within the roof framing.

The terms 'loft' and 'attic' are often used interchangeably to describe a large void under, or partly under a roof, but above the main occupied spaces, that it is possible to access.

The attic idea refers to the sector of a building located just below the roof.The attic can be used for housing and has a sloping ceiling.Staying on the top floor of a building, it is often used as a water tank or warehouse.

Insulation:

Attic insulation is a thermally insulated, protective interior cladding procedure involving the use of glass or rock wool, polyurethane foam or phenolic foam.

It must be noted, there is a difference between insulating a pitched roof and a flat roof, and there is a difference between cold or warm loft insulation.
