Insulation for different areas

Find out what sort of insulation is required in different parts of your home, and why. Learn more about roof, wall, under-floor, door and window insulation.

Heat doesn’t travel uniformly in every direction, and your home doesn’t use the same shapes and materials for the roof, walls, windows, doors and floor. For those reasons, the thermal insulation requirements for the different parts of your home are likely to be different from each other. Learn how much heat is lost through the different areas of your home, and how to properly insulate roofs, walls, windows, doors and floors.
