What are the benefits of thermal insulation

What are the benefits of thermal insulation?

Heat loss is high if insulation conditions are poor. For example, around 35% of heat is lost from the ceiling, 14% from the floor and over 25% from the walls.

Thermal insulation is either a blanket for your home in cold winters, or protection from the sun on hot summer days.

When insulating your home, it is important to consider the following areas

• Ceiling/loft
• Floor
• Walls
• Windows

These four areas create the so-called "thermal envelope", which is the barrier between the interior and exterior of the house. The better the "thermal envelope" is equipped, the warmer/cooler your home will be.

The most effective way to improve the energy efficiency of a house is to insulate the outside of the building.

Insulation materials help us to keep warmth in winter and limit heat inflows in summer, and thus, in addition to energy saving, improve the living conditions.

In addition to the above-mentioned benefits, the main advantage of thermal insulation materials is the considerable reduction of heating and air-conditioning costs.

Benefits of thermal insulation:

- A comfortable climate all year round;

- Up to 60 % less heating and cooling costs;

- Reduced need for heating and cooling which helps to save non-renewable resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions;

- Eliminate the risk of condensation on walls and ceilings.

 

Remember also that any type of thermal insulation material also determines the level of sound insulation in the house.
