In a bid to reduce winter fuel bills and also make our homes more energy efficient, there is a wide variety of insulation which can be used in your home to prevent heat being lost during the winter as well as keeping you cool in the summer.
Insulating your home is a very easy task providing you have the right tools and prepare thoroughly. Insulation is typically available in either rolls or slabs. Slabs are mostly used to insulate walls and ceilings, whereas rolls are used in lofts and attics because it is easy to manoeuvre around small or tight spaces.
Nowadays, insulation is very lightweight but offers much more in the way of heat retention than before. Most insulation is made from synthetic fibres which have been fused together. They sometimes contain glass particles, such insulation should be handled with care, wearing gloves, and an eye and mouth mask to ensure that you don't inhale any of the particles.
Some people prefer to choose an eco friendly insulation which is made from natural wool. Wool is an age old method for insulation because it is breathable as well as being able to absorb and retain heat or moisture without affecting its performance as an insulator.
Properly insulating your home could save you hundreds of pounds in the long run on heating bills and is a worthwhile investment.
