Insulation New Year's Resolution

We Wish You a Well Insulated New Year!

The holiday season is upon us and the perfect time to make your family and friends happy with a proper and carefully chosen gift, and to define a resolution for the coming year. The very process of looking for a perfect New Year's resolution is not always easy, and can be both money and time consuming since you always want to choose the perfect one but stay within the planned budget. Well, since the start of a new year does not include only celebration but also announces new plans, why not try to choose a project that would last for a long time and be more than useful for you and the members of your household. We are talking about a gift that does not necessarily include glitter and red bows but you will learn to appreciate it when the winter comes knocking. Why not choose insulation as your New Year's resolution!?

First Step – Choosing the Insulation

Let’s start from the begging. As with every resolution, the first thing you need to define is which insulation you want to get. Not to worry, since it is just like getting a sweater or a book. For example, you can install some acoustic insulation in your home that would not only reduce airborne and impact noise but also contribute to its thermal performance. It is best to start with the walls which usually need insulation the most and choose from a variety of different products available in the insulation market. Now, if your son or daughter is also an environmentalist and cares for the planet, you can narrow your choice by choosing some of the available eco-products made from glass or rock wool fibres which are known for their environmental benefits since they don’t contain ozone depleting chemicals (such as CFC and HCFC) and are fully recyclable. Apart from that, these products are very easy to shape and install, regardless of whether they are packed in slabs or rolls.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a perfect New Year's insulation resolution that would put a smile on your partner's face, you can assume that he or she would like to be worm and have a worm and good night sleep after a hard day at work or have an additional room only for himself or herself (without having to move to another house). Well, why not consider just adding some loft insulation and turn your loft space into a peaceful corner only for yourself and your significant other. Here, you could even consider some conversion work. You can choose a product that is especially designed for roof insulation since it has abilities to both keep the loft warm during the winter and cool during summer, such as foil faced PIR boards which are perfect for loft extensions and are usually installed between the roof rafters. If you are looking for a more traditional insulation product, then you can go for any of the rock wool loft insulation rolls which are designed help you comply with recommended thicknesses of loft insulation and also have substantial fire performance, such as Rockwool Twin Roll, which is available at our London insulation shop.

Finally, if you are having trouble in making up your mind and need some advice and professional guidance, you can always try our technical support which will provide with all the additional information on choosing you insulation resolution. However, please note, since we also celebrate the holidays, the support line will be unavailable during the holiday season and all product will be delivered after the 1 of January 2015. In the meantime, you can always browse our products page and the available news and articles where you can find a lot of useful information to get you started.

Second Step – Presenting the New Year's Resolution

Once you have chosen your insulation, it is time to present it to your family members and friends. Since all the suggested insulation products are very easy to install, you can use the opportunity to organize some quality family time and install the product together. The very installation process will depend on the product you have chosen. For example, rock and glass wool products require no special equipment but are simply rolled or stacked, and tightly fitted in the designated space (between the wall suds or joists for instance). 

Final Step – Enjoy the Holidays and make Energy Conservation and Insulation your 2015 New Year's Resolution
