Draft text about insulation
Loft Insulation
Loft insulation will help keep your house warm in winter and cool in summer. It can be simple as fibre rolled between the joists or fibre boards between the rafters depending on how you use the space.
Insulation For Flat Roofing
Flat roof insulation is normally installed through construction phase or as part of a significant remodelling project as it requires installing below the surface of the roof.
Cavity Wall Insulation
Cavity wall insulation is a highly recommended energy-saving measure for home insulation with suitable space between the inner and outer wall. It is typically mineral wool or polystyrene beads injected into the space via a drill hole.
Room-in-Roof Insulation
Room-in-roof insulation is used to insulate a loft that has been converted into a usable room and replaces the standard loft insulation that would have been installed when the roof was empty.
Solid Wall Insulation
Solid wall insulation is a layer of insulating material (like a rubber mat) that can be applied on either the inside or the outside of your home underneath the decorative surface.
Solid Floor Insulation
Solid floor insulation is a layer of insulating material typically used on the ground floor of homes when the floor is made of concrete. It can be used for rooms that are above unheated spaces (eg rooms above a garage).
Suspended Wooden Floor Insulation
Suspended wooden floor insulation is typically rockwool or similar fibre slabs inserted under floorboards, between the timber beams that make up the floor structure.
