Why is Home Insulation important?

Home insulation is one of the best ways and is important to enhance energy efficiency and maintain comfort zone at your home. Whether you are building a new country home or upgrading your present one, as long as insulation is installed in the appropriate locations in your home, it will reduce heating and cooling costs and keep you comfortable all year long. Insulating your home is a cost efficient upgrade that improves your energy costs and improves your air quality. In this blog, we’re going to explore why home insulation matters and see how products like Thermacell, Rockwool, and fiberglass will positively impact your home’s performance.

A well-insulated home gives you a barrier against the transfer of heat into or out of your house. During the month of winter, insulation keeps the heat inside the home, and in the summer, insulation prevents heat from entering into it, keeping the conditions cooler indoors all year round.

Benefits of home insulation

1. Energy efficiency/cost savings

Good insulation materials (Thermacell / Thermobreak Crosslinked Foam Home Insulation and Thermal Rockwool Insulation are good examples) maximize energy efficiency through the ability to trap air, which limits air movement (and energy loss). The less energy you need for heating and cooling, the less you will rely and pay for manually operated heating and cooling systems - and this will add to a significant long-term savings on your bills.

2. Improved comfort

Insulation not only saves you money on energy costs, but it also provides consistent room temperature. There will be considerably less fluctuations in either direction, regardless of the temperature outside. With insulation products like Supaflex / Rubber Insulation used as a thermal barrier, the specially designed material will keep heat inside during winter and the cool air in during summer! You will have to spend less time turning the thermostat up and down, creating a more consistent environment to enjoy.

3. Reduce Noise levels

Another aspect of insulation that is often underappreciated is that insulation materials can also help with noise levels. Noise pollution from the outside or noise between rooms is one significant factor for comfort in a home. Insulation materials such as Fiberglass Insulation and Starfoil Bubble Insulation can even absorb sound and energy to help reduce the noise levels. This can be a valuable asset in urban environments, as well as multi-level homes, where noise from other tenants or parts of your home can depending on how noise travels through walls and ceilings.

4. Enhanced indoor air quality

Good insulation also helps control the air quality in your home (no drafts, air leaks, dust, or outdoor contaminants). Insulation also helps seal gaps. Insulation materials (Thermawool / Fiberglass Insulation and Polyolefin Pipe Covers) help seal gaps and blind spaces while preventing unwanted contaminants from entering our space (considerable indoor air quality improvements for people with respiratory issues or allergies).

5. Increased home value

A home that is energy-efficient is not only nicer to live in but will also appeal to prospective buyers. Homes that are insulated well, are usually regarded better in terms of sustainability and eco-friendliness, which creates more resale value. Homes that have good insulation or product (Calcium Silicate board, Rubber insulation) will attract attention when you list your home for sale in the future!

Here are the best insulation materials that will help you to insulate home:

Thermacell / Thermobreak crosslinked foam insulation: This foam home insulation is a great option to minimize heat loss, offers excellent thermal insulation to residential and commercial buildings.

Fibreglass Insulation: Fibreglass insulation is easily the most suitable residential insulation and it has proven to be an adequate popular, inexpensive, effective and readily available insulation material.

Rockwool Insulation: Youll spot the product instantly by its gray, crumbly texture. People rave about the way it chokes off noise, and that quality really shines if your house faces roaring traffic or a busy street market.

What Are the Signs of Poor Thermal Insulation?

In the tough environment of the UAE, good thermal insulation is important for keeping indoor comfort, managing energy costs, and protecting the quality of buildings. Sadly, many property owners do not realize that their buildings might be poorly insulated or have aging insulation. By recognizing the signs, you can take quick action to enhance your property’s performance. Reliable thermal insulation suppliers in UAE can assist in identifying problems and suggest the best solutions.

Common Signs of Poor Thermal Insulation

1. High Energy Bills If your energy bills are consistently higher than usual — even when your HVAC system is working well — poor insulation might be the cause. Insufficient insulation makes air conditioners work harder to keep temperatures comfortable.

2. Uneven Temperatures Do you feel that some rooms are much warmer or cooler than others? Uneven indoor temperatures clearly show that insulation is not working properly, allowing heat to pass through walls, ceilings, or floors.

3. Drafts and Air Leaks Feeling drafts near windows, doors, or walls could point to insulation gaps. Over time, insulation may break down or settle, creating openings where hot outdoor air enters the building.

4. Uncomfortable Interior During Peak Heat If your indoor areas become very hot during summer afternoons, even with the AC running, your insulation probably isn’t blocking enough heat from coming in.

5. Condensation or Dampness Poor insulation can cause condensation on indoor surfaces, especially around windows and cold areas. Over time, this moisture can damage walls, ceilings, and even building structures.

Conclusion

Identifying and fixing insulation issues early can greatly improve comfort and energy efficiency — while avoiding expensive repairs later. For expert help and high-quality materials, rely on the professionals.

ECO FRIENDLY INSULATION

New Post has been published on https://roofinsulations.co.za/eco-friendly-insulation/

ECO FRIENDLY INSULATION#CeilingInsulation, #EcoFriendlyInsulation, #EcoInsulation, #Insulation, #InsulationInstaller, #IsothermInsulation, #RoofInsulation

What is regarded as eco friendly insulation? Eco friendly insulation products are roof insulation products that do not have chemicals or other harmful products in the composition. In fact in my book a eco friendly insulation product is a product manufactured from what would generally be pollution. And this does not mean products like paper and cardboard as there is a large market for recycled paper. So we do not see the point of calling paper cellulose insulation as eco friendly. In fact the more we blow this into roofs the more trees need to be cut down.

What is Eco friendly Insulation

In my opinion a insulation product that would like to be classified as eco friendly must be itself recyclable. Now thats a tough ask are there any insulation products that are that eco friendly? Absolutely the Isotherm Insulation is manufactured from PET plastic bottles. This is plastic Coke Fanta bottles etc. Now remembering that these plastic bottles would be pollution in land fill sites and our oceans for 450 years. The claim of eco friendly insulation gives this product the top award surely. Also take into account that the percentage of plastic bottles that are recycled is only a few percent globally. Leaving mega tones still as polution.

In fact because Isotherm Insulation is manufactured from recycled bottles it has the longest lifespan of all insulation products. There are no chemicals in Isotherm and no resin binders. In fact Isotherm has a natural fibre binding process. The Isotherm Insulation is Dust Free and Allergy Free.

Why Is Paper Insulation Not Regarded as Eco friendly Insulation

Well in my opinion i dont believe this based on a few factors that we will list below. Remembering as we mentioned earlier eco friendly insulation should be manufactured from recycled products. However the biggest factor is the product itself should be recyclable to be regarded as eco friendly insulation.

Recycled news paper with inks and pigments can’t be to healthy surely.

A chemical composition of up to 25% must be added to give fire retardancy including rodent repelants.

 Could this fine paper dust like insulation be realistically safe?

Can the Cellulose paper insulation be recycled? The answer is no it can’t be recycled and this we know as we remove tons of the paper insulation out of homes through out South Africa. The installers of the so called eco insulation will not take this from us as we have offered. Instead this eco friendly type insulation must be dumped at a hazardous chemical site Fisserhok.

How much of this mega tons of paper could have be re-used as recycled paper products etc.

This means because this product can’t be recycled more forests would need to be cut down to accommodate this.

Our environment is on a knife edge with the ozone layer and our planet under pressure. Rain forests are an important part of the environment.

Today more than ever we are told not to print unless it is necessary.

How Effective Is Fine Paper Dust Insulation

Simply put with the winds in the Cape and the two months of rain in winter i would say not effective. Our lead time on removing these so called eco friendly insulation products is almost 6 weeks. In many homes we find the insulation has piled up on one side of the home. With the wind and very little on the other side of the home.

The other problem that we face is that the paper absorbs water and becomes very heavy with an inevitable ceiling collapse. We have removed paper blown in insulation from many homes were and expensive ceiling collapse has occurred. Remember when this happens your loved ones or little ones could be trapped under this lot as it comes down. Further to that there can and will be damage to appliances Tvs Hi Fis etc.
