Best Ways to Insulate Your Home

October 18, 2017admin

 5 Best Ways To Improve Your Home Insulation

When it comes to having an energy-efficient, comfortable home, insulation is crucial. That is because insulation helps to keep the heat inside the property. Therefore, you are not spending excess money for additional heating. 

We have put together this handy guide on some of the best ways to keep your home insulated. If you are unsure about any of the methods below, you should contact your local specialists.

Loft Insulation

Insulating your loft is one of the simplest and cheapest options for improving your home. A poorly insulated loft can lose up to twenty-five per cent of the heating. Therefore, it is crucial to install loft insulation at least 270mm thick. That is an excellent opportunity to save money on energy bills for an affordable price.

Cavity Wall Insulation

Another way that heat escapes from our homes is through the walls. Cavity wall insulation fills the space between the two walls, on the outside of our homes. The insulating material will help to cut down on heating costs. 

It is always crucial to check with a specialist before proceeding with cavity wall insulation. That is because not all homes are viable and may require a different option.

Double Glazing & Triple Glazing

Double glazing and triple glazing can help to cut down on heat loss by up to half. A+ Rated windows with high performance can help to save money on energy bills. 

If you have single glazing, either double or triple glazing will be a benefit. However, double glazing is the cheaper option. With over twenty-five years experience, our experts at St Helens Windows can talk you through which glazing choices are most suitable for your home.

Flooring Insulation

Up to fifteen per cent of heat can escape from the flooring. Looking into underfloor insulation will help to prevent further heat loss. Wool insulation can be installed between the joists or can lay underneath floorboards and wooden flooring. 

Pipe And Water Tank Insulation

Installing a 75mm jacket over a hot water tank will help to insulate the tank. That helps to reduce heat loss by up to 75 per cent. Plus, it can also help to keep the hot water hotter for much longer. It is also worth investing in insulating water pipes around the home.

These steps are all relatively affordable choices for your home. Consult with your local home improvements company to find out the most suitable options for you. 

Although you may need to invest a bit of time and money into your property, it will reward you with better energy-efficiency and a more comfortable home.
