Insulation is one of the major improvements that we can make to our homes. By having the right amount of insulation in our walls, roofs and floors and by reducing the effects of draughts we can cut our energy use dramatically and hence save money and carbon emissions.
By using natural materials we also reduce our carbon footprint because the embodied energy in these products is much lower than that of many of the conventional insulation materials. This is a win - win situation, as we are saving energy use at all stages of the process. Natural insulation materials are also much safer and healthier to use than many other materials.
