is U-value and R-value?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"#u-r-value\">R-value</a> refers to how well a surface can resist heat transfer, whereas <a href=\"#u-r-value\">U-value</a> refers to how quickly or slowly a surface can allow heat to pass through it. While R-value is concerned with resistance, U-value is concerned with transmission. </span></p>\n"},{"question":"Can I insulate my house myself?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are some forms of <a href=\"#diy-home-insulation\">DIY home insulation</a> &#8211; mainly loft and floor &#8211; which you can carry out yourself by placing mineral wool insulation sheets between the joists and floorboards. You can also draught-proof many of your doors and windows with adhesive draught-proof strips and silicone fillers available in most hardware stores. </span></p>\n"},{"question":"What are the benefits of insulation?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Insulating your home comes with <a href=\"#prevent-heat-loss\">numerous benefits</a>. Insulation will drastically reduce your annual energy bills by ensuring less heat escapes your home. This way, your heating system isn’t working as hard to maintain the internal temperature. Insulated homes also have higher property values in the housing market. It also significantly reduces your carbon footprint, benefitting the environment at large. </span></p>\n"},{"question":"How are houses insulated?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Houses are insulated in <a href=\"#ways-home-insulate\">many different ways</a> depending on the job at hand. </span>Cavity wall insulation<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a common example, in which the gap or ‘cavity’ between a property&#8217;s inner and outer wall is filled with insulating material. This process can see your home reduce </span>up to 33%<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of heat loss. </span></p>\n"},{"question":"What is the safest insulation?","answer":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are several <a href=\"#natural-insulation\">natural insulation materials</a> available for home insulation. Sheep’s wool is an eco-friendly alternative to mineral wool for insulating floors, walls, and lofts. Cellulose is another sustainable alternative made from recycled paper products commonly used in roof and wall cavity insulation.</span></p>\n"}],"hidestructureddata":false,"background":"","titleColor":"","backgroundContent":"","contentColor":""}},"innerBlocks":[],"innerHTML":"","innerContent":[],"isValid":true,"theme":"greenmatch"}],"lastUpdated":"21

It can potentially cut your annual CO2 emissions by <strong>up to 0.6 tonnes!</strong> Before you proceed with loft insulation, here are a few things to consider:</p> </div><ul class="wordpress-list checkmarks-colored" style="--ebf5db5c:;" data-v-2f7eb99b><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Loft purpose:</strong> Determine whether your loft is for storage or living. This decision influences the type of insulation needed. If it's a living space, it is recommended to insulate the internal walls of the heated room to minimize heat loss. In either case, it's best to work with professional <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/insulation/loft/companies">loft insulation installers</a> for the best results. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Dampness:</strong> If your loft suffers from dampness, insulation can worsen this problem significantly. It is highly recommended to solve dampness issues with a professional before you install any insulation. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Ventilation:</strong> Whether a DIY or professional job, ensure that any vents, grills, or air bricks are not covered during installation to prevent dampness, mould, and rot down the line. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Draught-proofing:</strong> For lofts with window openings, consider draught-proofing to help further reduce heat loss by ensuring less cold air gets in, and less hot air gets out.  </li></ul><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>If you're wondering how to save heat, insulating a loft can be done in several ways depending on your needs, including DIY. The main decision to make is whether your loft will be used as storage or living space. Here is how the process can differ for each choice:</p> </div><ul class="wordpress-list checkmarks-colored" style="--ebf5db5c:;" data-v-2f7eb99b><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Loft for storage:</strong> For storage, loft floor insulation is sufficient to keep your home warm. This can be done DIY, but a professional is always recommended. Use <strong>'loft legs'</strong> on the joists to elevate the floor, creating a wider gap. These can be found at most hardware stores. Add <strong>270mm of mineral wool</strong> or another insulator, leaving a <strong>50mm air gap</strong> for ventilation between the insulation and floorboards.  </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Loft for living:</strong> For living spaces, a professional installer will be required to ensure compliance with regulations and proper installation. Alongside pitched roof insulation, the walls and ceilings between the heated living space and unheated loft spaces will have to be insulated. Loft living spaces with windows or skylights will also need quality glazing for optimal insulation. </li></ul><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>The <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/insulation/loft/best">best loft insulation material</a> will depend on a series of factors, such as your loft type, available budget and personal preferences.</p> </div><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p><strong>Insulating a flat roof </strong>must be carried out by a professional, as it requires insulating from above. Normally, rigid boards of insulation are laid across the outer roof of your home - either directly on the existing weatherproof layer or on the rafters under it - with a new weatherproof layer added on top. Given the nature of this installation, it is recommended to start when your roof covering needs replacing to save yourself the hassle.

Made from recycled glass fragments and sand, fibreglass insulation usually comes in blankets or sheets. Its soft malleable structure makes it an ideal material to work with, especially with irregular shapes and hard-to-reach areas such as in attic insulation.  </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Polyurethane (PUR):</strong> A highly effective insulating foam that is especially great for filling small cracks and crevices in roof and floor insulation. It is applied using a spray gun and is commonly used as a cavity wall insulator.  </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Polystyrene:</strong> A rigid thermoplastic foam that excels in heat and noise insulation. Available as expanded (EPS) or extruded (XEPS) foam, with the former having less density than the latter, it comes in sheets or blocks that are normally used in wall insulation.  </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>PIR Board:</strong> Short for Polyisocyanurate, this polymer-based insulator is melt-proof and comes in rigid boards or panels. PIR boards are commonly used for <a href="https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/insulation/ceiling">ceiling insulation</a>, floors, and walls.

This indicates professionalism, even if you don't qualify for a grant. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Installer qualifications:</strong> Certain types of insulation - especially exterior - will require planning permission and regulation approval. Therefore, it’s a good idea to ask insulation companies if they are a member of a <strong>competent person scheme</strong> related to insulation. Some examples of these schemes in the UK are CIGA, or Stroma.  </li></ul><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>Additionally, get multiple quotes from different installers to get a well-rounded understanding of your expected costs. Beware of pushy sales reps asking for upfront payments on the first meeting; they might be unprofessional or part of a scam.</p> </div><div class="wordpress-heading u-heading-3 wordpress-heading--h3" style="--38f5543e:left;" data-v-62fde062> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="diy-home-insulation">Insulating your house by yourself</h3> </div><div class="wordpress-image"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full no-shadow"><img src="https://cdn.greenmatch.co.uk/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto/2/2024/02/diy-insulation.png" alt="diy-insulation" class="wp-image-98375" /></figure> </div><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>If you enjoy DIY projects and want to save money, you can tackle some house insulation tasks without hiring a professional.

Then, add another layer at a right angle, covering the joists, and place the floorboards back on top. Use <strong>270mm of mineral wool</strong> and leave a <strong>50mm air gap</strong> between the wool and floorboards for ventilation. Consider using <strong>‘loft legs’</strong> from a hardware store to raise the floorboards to create the space. Avoid covering existing ventilation during this process.   </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Floor insulation:</strong> You can insulate your floor yourself if you have suspended timber floors. Lift the floorboards, lay <strong>270mm of mineral wool </strong>between the joists, and secure them with netting before putting back the floorboards. Make sure to not compress the mineral wool with the netting as this will minimise its insulating capacity. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Draught-proof windows and doors:</strong> Use adhesive draught-proofing strips or metal/brush-based strips to minimize draughts in panel gaps. You can purchase draught-proofing covers for various openings, such as keyholes and chimneys, all of which can be found in your local hardware store. </li><li class="wordpress-list-item"> <strong>Draught-proof walls and floors:</strong> Fill the cracks in floorboards, walls, and around windows and doors with silicone-based flexible fillers or mastic-type products. These are available at most hardware stores, often with an applicator gun for easy use. </li></ul><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>While avoiding professional installation costs may be tempting, faulty self-installation can lead to greater financial harm in the long run.
