Consider all the options for your new home insulation
Building a new home can be one of the most exciting experiences of your life. Yet it can be one of the most frustrating and stressful experiences, too. So much effort goes into choosing the right windows, the best roof, the colour scheme, the kitchen…the list goes on and on and on. Sometimes it can feel like information overload and making the right new home insulation choices seems like an impossible goal.
Choosing the best insulation for your new home is just as important as choosing the right paint colour or roof style. Natural Insulation can help reduce the stress of your building project by working out a comprehensive and cost-effective home insulation plan that optimally manages the temperature of your home all year round. Letting Natural Insulation take care of your insulation needs will add heat to your home….and take the heat off you when it comes to making the best insulation decisions.
Stopping heat loss with efficient insulation is important because it increases the comfort of those living in your home and saves money on heating bills during the winter.
The most effective way to do this is to optimise the insulation in your home’s ceilings and walls.
One of the most efficient types of insulation for ceilings and walls is Natural Insulation’s GreenChoice, a natural product made from recycled paper. Natural minerals are added to the paper to make it safe and able to repel vermin. The product is easily blown in to ceiling and wall cavities with specialised equipment during the home’s construction.
One of the best features of GreenChoice is that it manages to stop all drafts in ceilings and walls. Grant Thomas, Natural Insulation Managing Director, says it is 30% more efficient than other insulation products. He says that other forms of insulation don’t cover those small air gaps between studs and plates or ones formed by holes drilled by electricians and plumbers whereas GreenChoice, which is blown directly onto walls and into ceilings, easily covers those annoying gaps.
Natural Insulation also offers other wall and ceiling insulation products.
The floor area shouldn’t be neglected either. Cold rises and you can feel it when you are sitting on the floor. 15% of heat loss is through the floor and carpets and other floor coverings do little to halt this. Efficient insulation minimises this heat loss via floors. As one satisfied Natural Insulation client said, We used to wear Ugg boots in winter. Now we just wear socks. Natural Insulation offers products to efficiently insulate floors, too, and this is easily done during construction of your home.
