Insulation & Draught Proofing

Insulation & Draught Proofing

Insulation and draught proofing are essential components of energy-efficient homes that help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and lower utility bills.

Insulation involves adding materials such as fiberglass, foam, or cellulose to walls, ceilings, and floors to prevent heat transfer, keeping the home warm in winter and cool in summer.

Draught proofing focuses on sealing gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and other openings to prevent cold air from entering and warm air from escaping.

Together, insulation and draught proofing create a more energy-efficient and comfortable living environment, improving overall home sustainability and reducing environmental impact.

FAQs

Insulation helps regulate indoor temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and lower heating and cooling costs. Proper insulation can keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer, providing comfort year-round.

Signs that your home may need more insulation include fluctuating indoor temperatures, high energy bills, draughts, and uneven heating or cooling.

A professional energy assessment can help determine if additional insulation is needed.

The R value of insulation measures its performance, how well it resists heat flow. The higher the R value the higher the level of insulation.

The type and R value of insulation that is best suited to your home will depend on your climate and construction type.

The National Construction Code (NCC) set out minimum requirements for the R values of materials used in the construction of buildings. It is generally advisable to exceed these for greater comfort and energy savings.

Draught proofing involves sealing gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and other openings to prevent air from entering and escaping.
