Why insulating your home is a good idea!
Almost 60% of the heat generated within our home is lost through walls, loft and roof space combined. That's a huge amount Im sure we can all agree! Insulation works like putting a huge duvet over your property keeping heat in and stopping unnecessary heat loss. So you can enjoy a more comfortable year round temperature in your house whilst saving money on your energy bills.

Cavity wall insulation not only reduces heat loss it can also reduce unwanted condensation in the interior of your home.
The 3 most common types of cavity wall insulation are blown mineral fibre, polystyrene beads or granules and urea formaldehyde foam. They stop damp transferring from the outside to the inside walls and will keep the heat inside your home stopping unnecessary heat loss. You will save money on your energy bills all year round whilst reducing carbon emissions. As a bonus it can also help keep your home cool during the summer months.
