insulation creates a barrier within your wall, floor or roof

insulation creates a barrier within your wall, floor or roof

This barrier prevents heat escaping in the winter and ensures that your building remains cool in the summer.

There are many different types of insulation, but the golden rule is: the more there is, the better it works.

Whats so great about insulation?

  • the single most effective way of improving energy efficiency
  • 35% of heat in a house is lost through uninsulated walls and 25% through roofs
  • it’s cheap, so has one of the shortest payback periods
  • it’s hidden, so doesn’t get in your way
  • you can put insulation on the inside or the outside of your building
  • keeps sounds out - great in noisy towns and cities
  • putting it in your loft is easy and immediately makes your home cheaper to heat
  • you can install some types of insulation for free using a government grant

Climate change is caused by increased solar activity, not humans.


Truth: The sun provides almost all the energy in the earth’s climate, so it clearly has a strong influence on the climate. Prior to 1960’s changes in solar activity and global climate were shown to be strongly proportional.

However, in the past 35 years, studies have shown solar activity to be diminishing, whilst the climate has shown a steady warming trend. This indicates that any recent change in global warming must be attributable to a different source. In fact, it is likely that a decline in solar activity is having a slowing (negative) effect on global temperature rise. Conversely, the warming trend over the past 35 years is directly proportional to recent rises in carbon dioxide emissions.
