How does home insulation trick heat

Home insulation is a cost-effective advancement to the world which is now introduced in Pakistan by many companies. Many people are getting aware about home insulation now. Home insulation is actually heat insulation that keeps makes your house heat resistant. It doesn’t let heat go inside the house or escape from it. You could understand this by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. A heat resistant material is installed majorly at the roof of the house because plenty of heat enter or escapes the house from the roof. The use of material varies from company to company but the most common one is polystyrene.

In Pakistan our company that is thermofoam is offering a thermopore sheet that is made up of polystyrene. This thermopore sheet by thermofoam is installed to the roof of your house. Many people install insulation inside the roof. That would make your house more energy efficient because there is no such concept as too much insulation. Some homeowners install thin sheets of reflective metallic aluminum in the walls, floors, or ceilings to cut down on radiation losses. The way it works is really impressive. It has efficient results.

A majority of people have experienced this service for their homes and have declared it as a reliable one. The more heat escapes from your home, the colder it gets inside, the more you have to use your heating and the more it costs you. You would be able to notice a clear difference between an insulated and an uninsulated house during the peak of extreme weathers in Pakistan. Your heating and cooling systems would work more efficiently. As the heat that escapes and enters is stopped through the insulation.

Insulation also increases the life of your house. It would stay longer than it would have. The insulation along with resisting the heat helps in noise resistance, fire insulation. The amount of insulation and the cost could only be known after they come and visit your house to evaluate the R-value of the house. More the R-value, lesser would be the amount of insulation to be installed.
The insulation pays for itself by the reduction in the energy bills. In fact after recovering the amount it starts making you money in no time. Alongside it helps and is healthy for the planet too. Polystyrene is a superb heat insulator.


Some houses have two layered walls which have air as a heat insulator between them which is not the best idea for home insulation but one of the good ones. You can fill the gap with polystyrene or any other insulating materials. Cavity wall insulation takes a lot of time but costs you very less. The walls are sometimes filled with recycled papers, glass fibers and vermiculite. So insulating your walls can be very beneficial. In general, the more insulation you have, the warmer you'll be. But the amount you need varies depending on where you live and how cold it gets.
