Insulation can be expensive, but it is absolutely essential when considering your home plans and re-design. If your current insulation system is outdated, you could be losing money each month with escaping heat through your roof and walls.
A recent survey showed that heating and cooling actually account for 50%-70% of a home’s total energy costs per month and a poor insulated home can certainly impact the amount of money you are spending each month on energy bills.
Insulation helps to maintain the desired temperature in your home all year round by protecting the interiors against the cold in the winter and ensuring excess heat is not retained during the summer months.
Careful consideration should be taken around the insulation decisions for your home in order to save you money, whilst also creating a comfortable and energy efficient home for your family.
The Damp Problem
If your house has a quality roof and walls, but lacks basic insulation, then your house will not be fully protected from the weather and the ever-changing environmental elements. One of the main reasons for energy loss in buildings is due to moisture which is often retained within bricks and roofing materials. Tests have shown that even a low level of brick dampness such as 5%, can reduce the insulation performance by up to 50%.
The solution we use to limit dampness and protect and insulate your property from the element is “ProPerla Insulation”. There are different kinds of ProPerla insulation, all of which are a cost saving solution to your insulation problems. Keep reading to find out our solutions to your insulation needs.
