Reduce your heating cost by 30% this winter

1 June 2011

It somehow seems suitable to be thinking about the cost of heating our home on the first day of winter. Melbournian's have just shivered their way through one of the coldest months of May in history, so we definitely need to be gearing up for a cold couple of winter months.

Home insulation is one of the key factors that can help home owners manage the cost of heating and cooling their home. Enviroflex, one of our exhibitors at the upcoming Building & Home Improvement Expo, has some great insulation solutions for both home renovators and home builders. What particularly caught out attention is the Rockwool Blown Cavity Wall Insulation; significantly this single system is suitable for both existing and new homes and on average will reduce heating costs by a whooping 30%.

Great news for those undertaking a home renovation, this system allows older style homes (pre-1989) to insulate their external walls, without having to remove the inside plaster lining. As an entirely dry system, the Rockwool Blown Cavity Wall Insulation is suitable to improve thermal insulation of both new and existing brick veneer, double brick and some weatherboard homes. The way that is works is to fill the gap between the two walls of a house with an insulation material, massively decreasing the amount of heat which escapes through the wall. Significantly not only can it help keep the heat in, but in the hot summer months this system can also help reduce the amount of heat build up inside the house.

There are lots of benefits linked to the Rockwool Blown Cavity Wall Insulation including; complete fill without settlement, water repellent, vapor permeable, suitable for new and existing buildings, guaranteed for the list of the building and improves fire resistance of the building.

Enviroflex is one of the companies included in our Housing Sustainability Pyramid - Suitable to help implement Stage 6.
