Insulation

With rising energy costs putting the squeeze on household budgets, and with unprecedented levels of energy efficiency being demanded of our buildings, it pays to buy your insulation products from the experts.
At Fox Hay we know all about insulation, whether for thermal or acoustic purposes.

Nowadays, there is a much greater choice of insulation materials than ever before. Where the structure of the building allows, and to be thoroughly energy efficient, a home should have underfloor, wall and ceiling insulation. It’s worth noting that a home that is thermally insulated can also provide effective soundproofing, but you have to know which ones will do the job.

In the building industry, the insulating properties of a material are measured by their R value.
Broadly speaking, the higher the R value of a material, the greater its insulating capacity. However the R value deals only with the thermal conductivity of a material, and neglects its capacity to allow heat to pass through it by radiation or convection. Given that many materials used for insulation are loose, this can be an important consideration in choosing an insulation product. And as we know all too well, many insulation batts deal with radiative and convective heat transfer by the use of foil finishes which must be handled carefully in the presence of electrical wiring.
