The document discusses insulation for roofs and walls. It describes different types of insulation materials like mineral wool, cellular glass, and expanded silica. It explains that insulation is important as it lowers energy costs, increases comfort, and creates a healthier home environment. For roofs, it recommends 250-270mm of blanket insulation. For walls, internal or external insulation can be used, with benefits and drawbacks to each. Well insulated roofs and walls help reduce heating and cooling costs and improve energy efficiency.

CONCLUSION:CONCLUSION:
 Walls should have a U-value
(THERMAL TRANSMITTANT) of less than
0.30 W/m2K to meet
Building Regulations
 Around 120mm of insulation will
usually achieve by this.
 Insulating external walls can
save on average between
£450 and £500 a year on
heating costs
