Why Now is the Best Time to Prepare Home Insulation

As we step into the warmer months, winter may feel like a distant thought. But while the sun is shining and heating bills are the last thing on your mind, now is actually the smartest time to get your home’s insulation sorted for the colder months ahead.

At Ignite Property Group Limited (IPGL), we know that effective home insulation is the key to a comfortable and cost-effective winter. Investing in the right insulation products early can significantly reduce your energy bills and create a warmer, more inviting home. 

Don't wait until the first frost hits and everyone else scrambles for insulation services. By planning your home's insulation upgrades in May, you'll avoid the winter rush, secure better prices and ensure your home is ready to deliver maximum comfort and energy savings when the cold weather arrives. This proactive approach not only saves you money in the long run but also allows you to enjoy a stress-free transition into the winter months, knowing your home is well-prepared. 

Let's explore how IPGL's range of high-quality insulation solutions can help you prepare for the colder months.

Maximising Heat Retention 

Imagine your hard-earned money is literally floating away, escaping through your roof. That's precisely what happens with a poorly insulated loft. It's a silent energy drain, costing you significant sums on heating bills every winter. But there's a simple solution you can maximise heat retention with IPGL's premium Knauf Earthwool Loft Roll. Let's turn your attic from a heat-loss hotspot into a powerhouse of energy efficiency.

What to do now:

• Assess your current loft insulation. If it's lacking, upgrade with IPGL's reliable Loft Roll. These products offer excellent thermal performance, ensuring your home retains heat efficiently. 
• IPGL offers a range of Loft Legs and PIR Insulation boards to go with the Loft Roll that are easy to install and provide excellent thermal performance.
• Our Insulation DIY products are designed for easy installation and long-lasting performance, providing superior thermal efficiency.
•  If you need further help or assessment, we provide full loft insulation services and you can book an appointment for a survey at any time.

Enhancing Thermal Performance 

Have you ever felt a persistent chill in your home, even with the heating on? The culprit might be your walls. Uninsulated cavity walls allow cold air to penetrate, making your home uncomfortable and driving up your energy bills. IPGL's Cavity Wall Insulation offers a tangible solution, creating a warmer, more comfortable living space that you can feel immediately.

What to do now:

• For homes with cavity walls, consider IPGL's cavity wall insulation solutions. These materials are injected into the cavity, creating a barrier against heat loss.   
• For solid walls, consider internal wall insulation materials, IPGL can help source these as we provide access to high-quality cavity wall insulation materials, ensuring a professional and effective insulation solution.

Sealing Gaps with IPGL's Sealants and Expanding Foams

One small gap might seem insignificant, but when you add them all up, they can create a major energy drain. It's like leaving a window slightly open all winter. But you can stop the cumulative effect of draughts with IPGL's durable perimeter seals and draught products. By sealing those gaps, you're creating a home insulation barrier and draught proofing against the cold and ensuring your home retains its warmth.

What to do now:

• Inspect your home for draughts around windows, doors and pipework.
• Use IPGL's range of high-quality foam perimeter seals and silicon strips to close these gaps. Our draught-proofing products are designed for durability and ease of use.
• IPGL offers foam seals and strip silicon seals that are suitable for all draught-proofing needs.   
• Our external door seals and strips provide a reliable and long-lasting solution to draughts, enhancing your home's energy efficiency.
• For those who have a chimney, our chimney balloon is designed to eliminate heat loss through unused chimneys.

Creating a Warm Foundation 

We often focus on walls and lofts when it comes to home insulation but what about the floor beneath our feet? A cold floor can radiate chill throughout your home, undermining even the best insulation efforts elsewhere. It's time to address this often-overlooked area with IPGL's reliable floor insulation boards, creating a warm foundation that enhances your home's overall comfort.

What to do now:

• If you have access to your subfloor, consider installing IPGL's underfloor insulation boards and underfloor insulation between the joists.
• These PIR Insulation boards provide excellent thermal resistance, keeping your floors warm and comfortable.
• IPGL can help you source insulation boards suitable for your floor type.
• Our insulation boards are designed for easy installation and provide superior thermal performance, ensuring a warm and comfortable floor.
