With rising electricity costs, a poorly insulated home can be a burning hole in your pocket. You might think insulation works only to keep heat in. It stabilises the overall temperature of your home during all seasons. This means that, with correct insulating, you won’t have to switch your heater or aircon on as much anymore. Cutting down on costs means doing a great job for the environment by not using as much electricity!

Benefits of Insulation

Areas of insulation include ceiling insulation, floor insulation, and wall insulation. By insulating these areas, you are not only improving heat and energy control, but also making your house more soundproof. Reduce chances of water damage and mould build-up, and protecting your home against fire and insects.

When it comes to types of insulation and what to go for, you’ll want to consider your climate and the structure of your home. If you live in a colder area, you’ll want insulation that prevents heat transfer well (aka high R-value). If you live in a warmer area, something with lower R-value. You’ll also want to consider the design of your ceilings, how many stories your home has, how your walls are constructed, or if you have a basement.

Types of Insulation

Looking at specifics, spray foam insulation is great because it has a high R-value, is resistant to mould and insects and getting in small nooks, but it can be a bit pricey.

Fibreglass insulation is affordable, fire-resistant, and fairly quick and easy to install – but, it is less effective in cold climates.

With cellulose insulation, you do not have to tear down any walls to install the insulation, and it is a great repellent against vermin and insects, however, it does come with a higher risk of mildew.

However, with mineral wool insulation, due to it being hydrophobic, problems of mould and mildew are cleared. As it is also extremely thick, it acts as an excellent sound proofer as well, but it is expensive and not as readily available.

You won’t have to ponder this too much yourself, though – our suppliers will work with your budget and home and give you the best insulation your home deserves.
