Home insulation tips
Following the announcement from the UK government on new fuel measures to help counter the predicted rise of 40% in energy bills this winter, Wickes thought you might be interested in some easy insulation solutions to winter-proof homes.
Loft insulation
One of the easiest ways to reduce energy bills is to insulate the property’s roof as over a quarter of a home’s heat is lost through this - by insulating a loft you could save an annual sum of £155.
Walls
When completing an extension remember to insulate new walls as 33% of the entire building’s heat loss is through un-insulated walls. Cavity wall slabs are ideal for insulating extensions.
Doors and windows
Gaps around doors and windows are also a common cause of heat loss and account for about 20% of heat loss. Use foam or rubber seals to fill these costly gaps.
