Insulation
Introduction
Most heat within a home is lost through the walls, floor, and roof. Insulation can help to reduce the amount of heat being lost through the home. It is important to choose the right combination of insulation for a property. The correct type will depend on how the building was constructed (e.g. with a solid or cavity wall), the performance requirements for the retrofitted home, and whether there are any planning restrictions.
