Ins and outs of insulation

Energy consumption in Southern Africa measured against output (GDP) is very high compared to other countries. In the past, the use of insulation materials and techniques has been very low.

There is a misconception that insulation in buildings is not essential and regarded as a luxury item due to the low cost of electricity. This, however, is changing quickly; cheap fuel has not been used to the region’s advantage as a non-renewable resource and has rather been wasted by burning for energy (electricity).

This does not bode well for the future since the misuse has diminished a long-term resource and contributed to creating environmental pollution and ultimately global warming. Eco-Insulation represents a highly cost-effective and extremely safe choice for both ceiling and cavity thermal insulation.

Users of Eco-Insulation have the peace of mind of knowing that they are using an excellent product that also contributes to the environment by supporting recycling and lowering the consumption of electricity.
Why install insulation?• Warming and cooling your home.

• Lowering energy consumption.

• Suppressing noise.

• Providing fire resistance.

• Increasing your resale value.

• Lowering your carbon footprint with a natural safe, recycled insulation product.

By insulating your home, you help to keep it cool in summer and warmer in winter. This is because insulation resists the flow of heat. Heat is a form of energy and will always seek a cooler area, flowing out of the home in the winter and into the home in the summer.

By reducing heat flow, a properly insulated home requires less energy for heating and cooling. Further to being an energy saver, insulation also acts as a sound suppresser. When installed in either ceiling or wall cavities, it can reduce the transmission of sound from one room to another or from noise generated outside.

In today’s noise-laden environments, increasingly more homeowners are soundproofing their homes. A well insulated home will increase overall comfort and add to its resale value. In today’s times of rapidly rising energy costs it pays now more then ever to insulate.
