In countries like the UK where temperature drops down immensely in cold days, insulating your home becomes more than essential. Also according to the government surveys the carbon dioxide emission from the household sectors is the highest.
Advantages of the different kinds of insulations
Advantage of Loft Insulation: Survey says that about 20% of the heat of the house is lost from the roofs. So loft insulation is the relevant method to insulate the house. It is a kind of imaginary blanket that is wrapped around the roof to cut down the heat energy of the house lost. The current government standard of loft insulation thickness is 270mm or 11". And the “Effective Loft Insulation” according to British Standard Product is the usage of mineral wool quit, blown mineral wool, blown cellulose fibre.
Advantage of Cavity Wall Insulation: Survey also says that about 30% of the heat of the house is lost by its walls. So, cavity wall insulation is done to cut down the heat lost to the environment. From mineral wool to urea formaldehyde foam to expanded polystyrene bead, any of these things are used as resistance to water penetration, a resistance to rot, fungi and vermin. Yet, these blankets allow the normal ‘breathable’ aspects of a building.
