Make the Most of Efficient Heating Systems with Insulation and Glazing
Installation of an efficient home heating system like electric floor heating can be wonderfully enhanced with the right glazing, draught proofing and heat insulation products. Although every country has its own protocols (e.g. Japanese homes are rarely built using bricks and mortar), the basic premise remains the same – efficient, effective reduction of heat loss.
Wall Insulation
According to the UK-based Energy Savings Trust, around a third of domestic heat can be lost via the walls. Cavity wall insulation can have a significant effect on that figure, with solid wall insulation (both external and internal) offering even more protection.
Loft Insulation
Heat rises, and great loft insulation is the last line of defence in the home! Some governments provide free loft insulation schemes (e.g. for senior citizens, as in the UK) as an incentive for homeowners.
Floor Insulation
This is particularly relevant for homeowners who have invested in radiant floor heating. Some electric floor heating companies can supply tailored flooring and
panels to compliment their particular floor heating systems.
Double Glazing
Industry experts hail double glazing as one of the most effective weapons against heat loss in the home. Double glazing could cut the amount of heat lost through window areas by around half.
Draught Proofing
Using draught excluders to fill cracks and crevices around window frames, under doors and so on can prevent the detrimental escape of warm air.
Keeping on top of domestic heat loss can help reduce annual bills, boost property value and above all, provide a soothing, healthy domestic environment.
