Insulation is a process of protecting homes from extreme cold in winter and excess heat in summer. The purpose of insulation is to maintain homes at an optimal temperature. This type of home protection helps homes from noise pollution. Experts say that a well-insulated house with materials like multistop will be energy efficient and will need very less energy to make the interiors comfortable for homeowners.
Factors like insulating material and size of the house play a critical role in deciding the effect of insulation on homes. Age of the house also plays an important role in insulation. Wall insulation in Melbourne is a wise investment and its effects can be felt in long run.
Specialists say that it is important to insulate walls as priority because walls lose about 30-40% of heat through them. Roof is the second priority as it accounts for 25% of loss.
The different types of insulation are:
- Wall insulation: Depending on the type of walls, you can choose the type of insulation from cavity wall insulation (insulator is inserted into walls through drilling holes which are later filled by cement), and solid wall insulation (the material is used to cover all the faces of the property, both interior and exterior)
- Roof insulation: The insulating material is placed under the roof, this expensive option works better than placing the insulating material above the ceiling.
- Door insulation: Insulating windows is commonly known as glazing and helps in protecting noise from entering homes.
- Floor insulation: This type of insulation is the costliest as floor should be made again after completion of insulation process. Most of the modern homes come with insulation.
