How Insulation Can Improve Your Property’s Energy Efficiency
A huge proportion of homes in the UK are inefficient to heat, and this results in high energy bills and a substantial carbon footprint. There are many reasons why you should consider improving your property’s energy efficiency – from helping the planet to immediately reducing your energy bills. When it comes to taking action, one of the best things you can do is to make improvements in your insulation. Uninsulated areas of your property cause heat and energy to be lost. But, when you upgrade your insulation, heat will be retained, your space will feel warmer, and your bills will come down. To learn more about using insulation to make your property more efficient – read the following post by the Online Insulation team below.
Wall Insulation
Homes without insulation lose over a third of their heat through the walls, according to statistics from Which?. Detached houses lose heat through walls on all sides, whilst mid-terraced houses and flats lose less heat as there are fewer external walls. Adding wall insulation – both internal and external – will help significantly improve your property’s energy efficiency. If you have no wall insulation, then this is a great place to start if you want to cut your energy costs in the long term.
Floor Insulation
Likewise, plenty of heat is lost through floors in homes. To reduce this, you should add floor insulation if possible. We recommend adding floor insulation to the ground floor of your home; this will be beneficial in stopping this type of heat loss. Floor insulation boards greatly enhance the overall thermal efficiency of any building. There are a number of brands available to purchase including Celotex, Kingspan, Ecotherm and Recticel.

Roof and Loft Insulation
Roof insulation and loft insulation are two cost-effective ways to boost your property’s energy efficiency. The majority of homes and properties can benefit from at least 270mm of loft insulation; this will help stop heat escaping, and as loft insulation lasts so long, it will more than pay for itself over many years. Pitched roofs can be insulated in a number of ways such as insulation rolls, rigid boards and spray foam. Flat roofs can be insulated in various ways too – as a warm deck, cold deck or inverted roof.
