Choose Natural Insulation to stay warm this winter (By: OBC
Builders Sevenoaks)
The UK's winter months are around the corner and our OBC
Builders in Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells want to make sure we
help UK Homeowners to keep their homes warm and their energy
usage at a minimal. Unfortunately, energy usage escalates during
the winter months and many people opt for expensive heating
appliances and technology, not knowing that there are other,
more sustainable insulation techniques.
Sustainable Insulation: Our OBC Trustmark builders have
incorporated sustainable building techniques into our
homebuilding and refurbishment approach. Insulation is an
important aspect of sustainable homebuilding and design.
Effective insulation will keep your home warm during the winter
months and cool during the summer season. So ask a Trustmark
Builder to advise you on sustainable insulation materials
techniques. OBC's Builders in Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells are
registered with Trustmark. This government-endorsed scheme
cross-references companies for stability and good workmanship in
all aspects of building.
Natural vs. Conventional Insulation Techniques: Besides being
environmentally friendly, natural insulation products hold many
added benefits when compared to conventional insulation products
and techniques. Our OBC Builders in Sevenoaks and Tunbridge
Wells are familiar with conventional insulation materials. These
might be more cost-effective but what are the long-term benefits
in terms of resource sustainability and energy usage?
Conventional insulation materials are made from petrochemicals
and contain a wide range of adhesives and additives. The
manufacturing process of these materials is resource and
energy-intensive. Natural insulation materials on the other hand
are made from renewable, organic resources and can be reused and
recycled. Besides being non-toxic and allergen free, they reduce
condensation problems and regulate humidity. It's however
unfortunate that these insulation materials are more expensive
at the moment but this could soon change due to growing consumer
demands and a rise in oil prices.
Ask your local builder to advise on cost-effective yet
sustainable insulation options. Here are a few examples from of
natural and recycled Insulation materials provided by our
Trustmark Builders:
Sheeps Wool (Thermafleece):
This material is very effective for insulation purposes and its
embodied energy is very low. To reduce the risk of fire and
mites, this insulation material might require basic chemical
treatment.
Hemp insulation: Hemp insulation is not only breathable but also
able to absorb, retain and release moisture without affecting
its thermal properties. Vermin or other pests will not attack
hemp insulation.
Isonat Plus Isonat Plus is a high-density product, made from
natural fibres and does not irritate the eyes, skin, or
respiratory tract. Apart from being used as an insulation
material, Isonal Plus also has excellent sound damping
properties.
Wood fibre Steicoflex is a flexible, high-density product. This
insulation slab is made from forest thinnings and saw mill
residues.
Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) LECA is a natural product
containing no harmful substances. It is inert with a neutral pH
value, resistant to frost and chemicals, will not break down in
water, is non-biodegradable, non-combustible and has excellent
sound and thermal insulation properties.
Non-Itch Eco Fibre Non-Itch Eco Fibre is made from 85% recycled
plastic bottles and 15% polyester to bind the insulation
together. It has the same thermal efficiency as glass fibre but
without the free-floating fibres. This insulation material is
suitable for lofts, timber frame walls and roofs.
