-
We find that the partner who is least interested in insulation is the one who is unaware of what the heating system costs to run. If an electrical appliance was available that saved you €300 to €400 per annum, surely you would not hesitate to buy it.
Back To FAQ List - What are the current requirements for attic insulation?
-
Building Regulations require a U-Value of 16 in the attic. This is achieved through installing 270 millimeters of Rockwool RockPrime blown loft insulation.
Back To FAQ List - Why should I buy wall insulation?
-
According to independent government figures and Which? magazine wall insulation cam reduce your heating bills can reduce by as much as 25% and up to 33% in detached houses and bungalows.
Back To FAQ List - If my house was built today, would the walls be insulated automatically?
-
Yes. Since the early 80s some form of wall insulation is included in every new home. This is standard building practice, and to build a cavity wall without insulation is no longer permitted. Filling the cavity in an existing house with Polystyrene Beads reduces the heat loss through the wall by 80%.
