All you need to know about insulation5704615
Insulation is crucial to ensuring that your home remains energy efficient when it is cold and warm outside. With the right amount of insulation, you can be assured of warmth being retained in the home saving energy. This can help save you money on energy bills and also help save the environment.
Without proper insulation done in the house, the heat present in the house might escape through the walls or the loft etc resulting in an extra amount of energy being required to keep the house warm.
Here are the different types of insulation you need to concentrate on:
1) Floor Insulation: Insulating your floor is another important aspect. A large number of brands are available from Celotex Insulation to other brands like Kingspan, Recticel, Ecotherm, Rockwool and Knauf which are high quality insulations. All backed up by a manufacturer guarantee.
2) Wall insulation: The walls are key when it comes to insulation. With the correct amount of wall insulation heat can be retained. The walls are usually insulated with cavity wall insulation or alternatively insulation laminated to plasterboard such as Celotex PL4000.
3) Loft insulation: Lofts are the most important place to insulate as heat rises and most of the heat would be lost through the roof. This being said there are a number of ways to insulate your loft for example using Celotex 100mm insulation in between the rafters or fibreglass on the floor of the loft.
How to check your insulation is fit for purpose:
Generally it is recommended to have approx 300mm of fibreglass insulation in you loft floor. you can check this by visually inspecting the depth of the current insulation materials and also if the fibre is still fluffy, if the fibreglass is solid and compacted it will no longer perform and should be removed and replaced.
floors and walls can be judged on how cold it gets and any further insulation installed would help these areas. the use of products such as celotex GA4000 can help as this is a general purpose high grade insulation material.
