Home Insulation Ideas To Help Keep Your Home Warmer For Longer
Itโs coming towards that time of year again, where you need to wrap up in a hat, gloves and scarf just to open the door to the postman, because baby itโs cold outside๐ต. As you close the door and walk back inside, you start to uncomfortably wonder, โis it colder in here than outside?โ
โAs recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO), UK households should have a room temperature in winter of around 18ยฐCโ
So, if youโre feeling chilly inside your home, itโs time to do something about it!
Weโve put together a list of 6 ways that you can stay warm and cosy, within your home, this winter (and every winter to follow!) using Home Insulation.
1. DIY Insulation Kits
DIY Home Insulation Kits are a fantastic way for you to get creative with Insulation.
From insulating your floor with an EcoTec FloorFoam Kit, to insulating your Conservatory with a Multifoil Kit, there are tons of possibilities with these DIY Insulation Kits.
Be aware, when insulating your conservatory it is extremely important that its done absolutely correctly! If not this could lead to more problems than before! That is why we recommend letting the experts carry out your installation and receive your 10 year guarantee included with every installation of ConservaHeat.
What makes these kits so simple and easy is that they contain everything youโll need for your install, and they have installation guides/videos available for all applications.
2. The ConservaHeat Conservatory Roof Insulation System
Your Conservatory is the least efficient room in your home if the roof is un insulated with up to 98% of the heat produced in your conservatory instantly being lost through the glass or polycarbonate sheets in the ceiling.
The Conservaheat System is the ONLY Insulation System on the market designed specifically for use on Conservatory Roofs. This highly reflective, high performing Multifoil Insulation solution is exclusive to Conservatory Insulations, meaning youโll not find it available anywhere else. Boasting true aluminium outer layers and a built in vapour control layer means you will get the best performing solution for your Conservatory Ceiling.
The Conservaheat System creates a thermal barrier between you and the great outdoors.
If your conservatory roof panels are glass a layer of SilverFrost will be added prior to the insulation blanket being installed.
It helps to keep your Conservatory ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ช๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ, by reflecting heat back inside your Conservatory, rather than it evaporating through an uninsulated roof. And it helps to keep your Conservatory ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ, by reflecting away the Sun’s UV rays, which prevents your Conservatory absorbing excessive amounts of Solar heat. It also contains a ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐-๐ถ๐ป ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐น ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ which results in less chance of Condensation.
ConservaHeat is usually installed within 1 day and comes with a 10 year guarantee included with every professional installation.
3. Silvertherm Reflective Window Film
SilverTherm Reflective Glass Tint is a non-fading, scratch resistant, Reflective Window Glass Film that gives a one-way mirrored, one-way tinted glass appearance. Itโs been designed to add extra privacy, warmth, and protection to your home.
SilverTherm can easily be installed by a DIY’er to any glass door or window panel in your home.
Itโs made the list because it is very effective when it comes to reducing Sun Glare and reducing the absorption of excessive Solar heat into your living space.
4. EcoTec Radiator Insulation Kit
This Radiator Kit is the easiest way to make a start to make your Home Insulation more economical. Did you know, that around 40% of energy can be lost through the walls in your house? Shocking, we know!
This is why itโs a fantastic idea to insulate behind your radiator, as it helps to prevent heat escaping outside as fast as youโre generating it. This highly reflective material consists of an air bubble membrane that is surrounded with true aluminium outer layers, that reflect up to 95% of radiant energy.
This prevents the heat being absorbed into the wall and being wasted.
In this Kit, youโll receive Double Sided Adhesive Foam Tape, alongside the insulation, everything you need to make the install even easier!
5. Thermafrost Window Tint
ThermaFrost creates an opaque finish to the roof which looks great, is lightweight and is easy to install. It is designed to be fitted to the underside of your Conservatory Glass Roof, and you can use this on your Conservatory Windows too, to provide extra warmth.
Every installation of ConservaHeat, if your roof is glass comes with a layer of ThermaFrost included.
You can purchase the ThermaFrost Window Tint as a roll only or as the entire kit. The kit contains all the equipment you would need for your application.
6. EcoTec Floor Foam Insulation
