How do I know if I have Sufficient Insulation
Telltale Indications of Insulation Problems:
Winter Problems:
- Are your heating costs excessive?
- Do you have any damp patches or mould on your walls or ceiling?
- Have you noticed uneven heating levels within the building?
- Are your floors cold?
- Do you have condensation problems?
Summer Problems:
- Does the building get unbearably warm inside?
- Do you have mould growing in your cellar?
- Does your air conditioner battle to cool down the building?
- Are the costs of cooling down your building/house excessive?
If your home was built more than 5 years ago, then the insulation levels will be significantly lower
than those used on new-builds. This is because there has been a significant increase in insulation requirements
in buildings. This is mainly due to the need to reduce the amount of heating required, and in so doing, contribute to a reduction in global warming.
Sprayed foam insulation is an ideal economical way to improve the insulation levels in your home. Not only is polyurethane foam one of the most efficient insulators
available on the market, but it can sprayed onto roofs, walls and floors or injected into cavities
to increase the insulation. Sprayed insulation seals out drafts and moisture allowing you to save on energy costs
and improves the comfort of your home.
