Before knowing the importance and benefits of home
insulation, it is important to know what home insulation is. Home insulation or
building insulation refers widely to insulating building parts like ceiling,
roof or wall for various purposes like thermal insulation, acoustic insulation,
etc. Insulation is basically done to resist the flow of heat and keep your home
or work place warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
There are several kinds of materials used for insulating
homes. These materials are used with building material during construction of a
house. One can also insulate one's 5- 10-year-old house. There are many
benefits attached with wall insulation and roof insulation such as it improves
comfort in the house during summer and winter by controlling room temperature,
it offers healthier environment and maintains acoustic effects in the house. In
addition to those, it saves energy and lowers down the energy bills. In a way,
it offers lifetime energy saving facility. Before selecting items for thermal
insulation, keep in mind that material should offer ease in its application,
has excellent thermal performance, should be cost effective and safe to apply.
Insulating homes saves energy as well as maintains room
temperature according to the requirement. Heat energy generally flows in the
direction from high temperature to lower temperature area. There is no use of
placing a heater in the room if your home is not properly insulated. The heat
emitted from heater will travel to all the directions, to the widows, doors,
ceiling, etc. To store the heat inside the room, it is very important to put
barriers, which can contain the energy inside the house. This barrier is
broadly known as insulation. Insulation materials stop the flow of heat or slow
the down it. Not only this, in summer season, it stops or slows down the heat
energy transmitting inside the room and keeps room cool in summers. If your
house walls, ceiling, and roof are not properly insulated, the energy used in
heating or cooling home will not able to give you maximum benefits, and
addition to that, you will have to pay hefty electricity bills.
