When it comes to Retrofitting Home Insulation our approach to each project, is more of a holistic nature. Providing information & products to manage moisture and improve internal air quality, by having the right balance of Insulation, Ventilation and Heating, to create an Energy efficient healthy warm home.
Great Insulation is a good start but it is only as good as the level of Ventilation & Heating. Often too much importance is focused on the Insulation or the Heating, when each of these 3 key areas must be addressed equally. Poor Ventilation allow pollutants, pollens, moisture and condensation to build up to unhealthy levels allowing mould to form. Occupants of damp or mouldy buildings are at increased risk of experiencing health problems such as respiratory symptoms, respiratory infections, allergic rhinitis and asthma.
Insulation + adequate Ventilation + sufficient Heating = less Condensation = Comfortable Efficient and Healthy Homes
