In the Insulation section of Wholebuild you’ll find out how:
Thermal, Acoustic, Anti vibration, and Fire proof insulation batts, blankets, loose fill, and low-density foams for floors, walls, lofts and roofs all work by limiting air movement to:
- save money and energy resources
- make any building more comfortable to live and work in by helping to maintain a uniform temperature
- make walls, ceilings, and floors warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer
- help provide better sound attenuation between party walls and where noise reduction is necessary
- reduce the risk of fire spreading throughout a building
- cut down vibration and disturbance within a building
Specifically, there is information on cavity wall insulation, foam wall insulation, rigid foam insulation, fiberglass insulation from Product and Service providers, Associations and other supporting organisations.

Interesting Info
It is thought that around half of all heat in a typical home is directly lost through the walls and loft space so its worth checking whether yours are insulated sufficiently.
