Insulation for Heat and Cold

Stay Comfortable Year-Round: Insulation for Heat and Cold

 

Properly designed and installed insulation doesn’t just keep your home warmer in winter – it also helps it stay cooler in summer. Learn how to adapt your home for rising temperatures.

 

Why This Matters:


The UK’s record-breaking 40°C heatwave in 2022 highlighted how vulnerable our homes are to extreme weather. Shockingly, between 2017 and 2021, 570,000 new homes were built in England without futureproofing for high temperatures, according to the Committee on Climate Change (p.28).

 

The Future of Home Resilience


Until planning and building regulations evolve, both new and existing homes will require costly retrofits to stay safe, habitable, and water-efficient in a changing climate.

 

Start preparing now – invest in insulation and passive cooling solutions to protect your home and reduce long-term costs.
