2. Insulation
• Insulation is one of the keys to a comfortable, energy-efficient
home.
• Insulation rebate is a energy star Insulating all over home in
order to get moderate climatic condition in summer or in
winter.
• It can reduce your home's heating and cooling costs through
proper insulation and air sealing techniques. These
techniques will also make your home more comfortable.
• Good quality insulation helps keep the heat in during winter
and out during summer.
3. • This makes your house easier and cheaper to heat properly,
and more comfortable and healthy to live in.
• The priority for insulating your home should be ceiling
followed by under floor and walls.
4. Insulation types
When insulating your home you have many different options to
choose from with each offering different benefits.
1. Blanket insulation
2. Rock mineral wool insulation
3. Sheet loft insulation
4. Loose-fill insulation
5. Sprayed foam insulation
6. Structural insulated panels
7. Rigid foam insulation
8. Roof and loft insulation
9. Floor insulation
10. Cavity and solid wall insulation
5. Blanket insulation
• The most common type of home insulation is blanket
insulation which comes in rolls with a foil backing .
• The material normally used is glass wool which is made from
recycled bottles which gives the material a good
environmental rating.
• Glass wool insulation is one of the easiest materials to install
and is the most cost effective.
6. Rock mineral wool insulation
• Rock mineral wool insulation
is a more solid material than
glass wool so is suitable for
situations where the material
may be compressed.
• Mineral wool can be obtained
in rolls and comes in varying
thicknesses .
• Rock mineral wool is a very
Effective fire safety measure
as it is resilient to heat and fire
7. Sheet loft insulation
• Sheet loft insulation comes in sheets and is usually used to
insulate the sloping side of the roof inside a loft.
• This type of insulation rebates can be more expensive and is
energy intensive to manufacture but has a high insulation
value.
8. Loose-fill insulation
• One of the more common forms of insulation is loose-fill and
blown-in cavity wall insulation.
• Loose-fill takes the form of small particles that form a material
that can conform to any space without disturbing structures.
• The most commonly used material for this type of insulation is
cellulose, fiberglass and mineral rock wool which are all
produced from recycled material.
9. • Loose-fill will typically be installed in wall cavities and
attics/lofts which is installed via a pipe.
10. Sprayed foam insulation
• Sprayed foam is also a common insulation and works in a
similar way with liquid foam being poured or injected into
place into wall cavities making it very versatile.
• Sprayed in foam is installed using a foaming agent and will
expand and become solid as the mixture cures.
• Slow curing foams are available which will flow around any
obstructions inside the wall cavity before hardening.
11. Structural insulated panels
• Structural insulated panels are prefabricated panels that can
be used in wall, roofs and floors. They offer excellent
insulation in comparison with traditional methods.
• They typically consist of 4 to 8 inch thick panels that are made
to fit in a factory then shipped to the site and can be made to
various sizes.
• A structural insulated panel would ideally be used in a new
build property.
12. Rigid foam insulation
• Rigid foam is a type of insulation
that is used where weight is in
need of support like under a floor
or in lofts.
• It also haves rigidity and durability.
• Rigid foam also provides acoustic
insulation by minimizing the level
of sound travelling through walls or
raised floors, such as in flats etc.
13. Roof and loft insulation
• Much of the heat lost in houses escapes through the roof due
to the fact that heat rises.
• Insulating your roof or loft to a recommended thickness of
270mm is the best way of stopping this heat from escaping
14. Floor insulation
• Under floor insulation is the good way of preventing heat loss
through the floor .
• This method is especially appropriate for older houses. Many
older properties have ‘suspended floors’, where there is a gap
underneath the floorboards.
• This gap can be filled by temporarily removing the floorboards
and laying rolls of mineral wool insulation.
15. • If you choose to install this type of insulation yourself, it is
important to ensure that you do not block ventilation points,
as floorboards will rot without adequate ventilation.
16. Cavity and solid wall insulation
• Insulating your walls against this heat loss can make your
property much more energy efficient.
• Most modern homes are built with cavity walls, that is, an
inner and an outer wall with a space between them, which
are designed to stop rainwater reaching the inside of the
property.
• These cavities also allow heat to escape, order to prevent heat
from escaping we go for this insulation.
• Cavity wall insulation is installed by drilling a small hole in the
property’s outer wall and using a pump to fill the gaps with a
polyurethane insulating foam
17. • It is also possible to install solid
wall insulation, which
can be fitted either internally
or externally, with decorative
coatings.
• This method of insulating walls
is significantly more expensive
and disruptive than cavity
insulation, as it can sometimes
require substantial building and
decorating work.
