Lower U-Values, Less Heat loss, Lower Bills.
New Build & Renovations...
New build properties have better performing lower U-Values
than older as-built properties due to building regulations at
the time of their 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.
Insulation works best when combined with other energy saving measures such
as energy efficient heating, smart home controls, renewable energy systems and
a modern ventilation system.
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 can be 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, so lower
heat loss.
Remember that windows and doors generally have high U-values, look at renewing them to lower the heat loss through both.
