5 Ways to Insulate Your Home That You Haven’t Thought Of

Heat loss in your home costs you money. And it potentially could hurt the environment.

Furthermore, we are entering wintertime with heat prices rising. This means that any savvy homeowner will be looking for ways to heat their home in a more efficient manner.

There are substantial cost savings you can make if you insulate your home. Thus, it makes complete sense to explore this heat-saving option. In this guide, we’ll run you through five ways to insulate your home that you may not have heard of.

1. Explore Floor Insulation Products

Flooring technology has come leaps and bounds over the years and is one of the best home insulation options to consider. Nowadays, there are many thermal insulation flooring options to consider for your home.

Plus, starting with your floors for home insulation is pretty straightforward. For example, you could opt for a laminate underlay to add an extra insulation factor to your floors. In the long run, you’ll save money on energy bills, and the underlay will end up paying for itself!

2. Insulate Your Cavity Walls

Since heat constantly flows from warm to cold places. So the colder it gets outside, the quicker your home’s heat escapes.

One way to solve this problem is to get cavity wall insulation to prevent heat from escaping in the winter months. If you have some level wall insulation already, it is still worth looking into how you might improve it as well.

3. Solid Wall Insulation

Solid walls can let out a lot more heat than cavity walls. But you might be thinking, can you insulate this wall type? The answer is yes.

You can choose to have robust insulation boards placed on the inside or outside of your solid walls. If you choose to have external panels fitted, the process involves a type of cladding or render to finish it off.

4. Radiators, Pipes, and Tanks

Adding pipe insulation to all the pipes that carry heat in your home can prevent heat loss. In addition, adding special insulation materials around your radiators and boiler can help keep your heating bills down.

Pipe insulation is just a cylindrical foam-like jacket that you wrap around your pipes. The great thing about this form of insulation is it’s pretty cheap. It’s easy to get hold of in stores.

5. Draft-Proof Your Home

A final and straightforward insulation solution is to locate any drafts in your home and block them off. It’s super easy to get your hands on some sealant and fill in the gaps causing you draft issues.

If you are having trouble finding any drafts, windows and doors are the obvious places to start. Also, check areas where piping leads from outside into your home.

Insulate Your Home for the Winter

Now is the time to leap into action and consider all your home installation options. But, in the end, it doesn’t matter what time of the year you decide to insulate your home. The point is, as soon as you take these measures, you’ll make long-term savings and have a cozy warm home for winters to come.
