Proper insulation of your home is certainly one of your priorities if you want to save energy. And, for good reason, effective insulation allows us to reduce energy loss as much as possible. There are several separation techniques. Keep reading to help you choose the best one for your home.


Why Proper Home Insulation Matters!

Increasing the energy efficiency of a home often starts with improving its insulation. After performing a professional heat balance, you will know which areas of your home are most affected by heat loss. You can identify the priority work to be done to make your home more efficient and reduce your energy bill. If you want to insulate your home, you have several options:

  • The insulation of roofs should not be neglected, because roofs represent on average 30% of heat loss.

  • Wall insulation is less important, as walls alone can account for 20-25% of heat loss.

  • The floor insulation is particularly interesting. Indeed, the heat loss can vary between 8 and 10% on average if it is located above an unheated basement.

Insulation work in the house must be subcontracted to a qualified craftsman recognized as guarantor. Only at this price will high-quality insulation be guaranteed, but you can also benefit from renovation grants if you meet the financing criteria.


What solutions can you adopt to insulate your home?

Insulating your home can increase comfort and reduce energy consumption. Depending on your needs, and taking into account the characteristics of your dwelling, you have the choice between several options:

  • How to insulate the attic depends on the layout of the attic and the use of the attic. For the majority of attics, the most common technique is blow-in insulation. The benefits can be substantial especially on homes that have little or poor quality insulation. It is also possible to install an insulating pads (although less effective), it will not cover your attic completely to create a thermal bridge. On the other hand, if the attic is suitable for conversion, it is advisable to think of insulation from the outside. However, this method requires that the roof covering be removed before applying the insulation.

  • If you want to insulate the walls of your home, keep in mind that external insulation is the most effective solution. This technique consists of laying insulating panels fixed to the wall and finished. You can also spray insulating paste on the walls. Interior insulation does not modify the façade of your house. You can also install insulation here or spray insulation.

  • To insulate the floor above an unheated basement, it is ideal to first install a ceiling insulation panel in the basement. On the other hand, if your house is on one level, or if you do not have access to the basement, you can install a thermal insulation plate covered with a concrete screed.

Manual

If you plan to increase the insulation of your home to save on your energy bill, the duration of the work depends on the type of work carried out and any work in parallel with other work. Please note that this depends on the size of the accommodation establishment. The price of insulation work also depends on the scope of the work, its complexity and the layout of the house.


What to consider when hiring an insulation company.

Insulation is one of the most important aspects of home renovation. It protects your family from the weather and also ensures you stay warm inside. However, it is important to choose a professional insulation company before proceeding with the insulation, as it can significantly affect the energy efficiency of your home. Find a company: The first thing you should do is search online for reviews or comments on potential candidates to make sure they are competent enough to do the work on your home. It will also help you identify any additional costs that may be incurred in the process, such as if they need to access your attic, or if there may be additional permitting or planning requirements.
