Home Insulation

There are a few different ways of insulating your home.

LOFT INSULATION
It is fireglass 'wool' laid across the loft floor which reduces conduction through the cieling into the roof space.

HOT WATER TANK JACKET
Reduces conduction through the water tank.

CAVITY WALLS
Two layers of bricks which foam between them minimise the convection.

DOUBLE GLAZING
Two layers of glass with air between them.

DRAUGHT PROOFING
Strips of foam and plastic around doors and windows stop hot air from getting out.

THICK CONTANS  
Reduce conduction and radiation through the windows.
