Property Insulation creates....
Lower U-Values, Less Heat loss, Lower Bills.
New Build & Renovations...
New build properties have better performing lower U-Values over older as-built properties due to building regulations at the time of thier construction.
This is where retro fit installation comes into play, with insulation for walls, floors and property roofs which helps bring the U-Value down and helps lower the amount of heat lost to the outside of an older property..............
How it works:
Insulation works by trapping air within the material, which acts as a barrier to heat transfer. Warm air from inside the home is prevented from escaping, and cold air from outside is kept out.
Where it's used:
Insulation is commonly installed in walls, floors, roofs, and attics, as well as around windows and doors.
Benefits:
Lowers heat loss and reduces energy consumption, lowers utility bills, and can make a property more comfortable year-round.
Types of insulation:
Various materials are used for insulation, including fiberglass, mineral wool, foil, foam, and cellulose.
R-value:
The effectiveness of insulation is measured by its R-value, which indicates its resistance to heat flow. A higher R-value means better insulation, in turn meaning lower U-values, lower heat loss.
Remember that windows and doors generally have high U-values, look at renewing them to lower the heat loss through both.
