Let Vertas Homes help save you money

---

Loft insulation is a quick and affordable way to improve the energy efficiency of your home. It works by creating a barrier that stops heat from escaping through the roof. This can save you money on your energy bills, reduce your carbon footprint, and make your home more comfortable.

How does loft insulation work?

Loft insulation is typically made of mineral wool, glass wool, or recycled materials. It is laid between the joists in your roof space, and then cross-layered with more insulation to create a thick barrier.

What are the benefits of loft insulation?

• Reduces heat loss through the roof, saving you money on your energy bills
• Improves the energy efficiency of your home
• Reduces your carbon footprint
• Improves your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
• Makes your home more comfortable in both winter and summer
• Reduces condensation in the loft space
• 
  

How much loft insulation do I need?

The recommended depth of loft insulation is 270mm. This will help you to save the most money on your energy bills.

Am I eligible for a loft insulation grant?

There are a number of government grants available to help people install loft insulation. To find out if you are eligible, apply now!

External wall insulation (EWI) is the process of insulating the outside of a building's walls. It is a good option for people who have solid walls, such as those who live in houses built before the 1930s.

How does external wall insulation work?

EWI is installed by attaching a layer of insulation to the outside of the wall, and then covering it with a render. The insulation can be made from a variety of materials, such as polystyrene, mineral wool, or recycled glass.

What are the benefits of external wall insulation?

• Reduces heat loss through the walls, saving you money on your energy bills
• Keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer
• Improves the energy efficiency of your home
• Reduces your carbon footprint
• Improves your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
• Can make your home more attractive to buyers
• May be eligible for a government grant

Can I get a grant for external wall insulation?

Yes, you may be eligible for a grant for external wall insulation from the government under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. To find out if you are eligible, you can contact your local energy company or a registered insulation installer.

When should I consider external wall insulation?

External wall insulation is a good option for people who:

• Have solid walls
• Want to improve the energy efficiency of their home
• Want to reduce their energy bills
• Want to make their home more comfortable in both winter and summer

External wall insulation is a good investment for homeowners who want to improve the energy efficiency, comfort, and appearance of their home.

Internal wall insulation is a type of insulation that is installed on the inside of the walls of a building. It is a good option for people who are unable to insulate their walls externally, such as those who live in terraced houses or flats.

How does internal wall insulation work?

Internal wall insulation is installed by attaching a stud frame to the existing wall. Insulation material is then placed between the studs, and plasterboard is attached to the outside of the frame. This creates a new insulated wall on the inside of the existing wall.

What are the benefits of internal wall insulation?

• Reduces heat loss through the walls, saving you money on your energy bills
• Keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer
• Improves the energy efficiency of your home
• Reduces your carbon footprint
• Improves your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
• May be eligible for a government grant

Floors are an often overlooked area of your home to insulate. Even if you have your heating on full blast, your house may still feel cold due. This could be because you have cold floors and draughts coming through floorboards! 

You could be losing around 10-20% of your home’s heat through uninsulated suspended timber floors.  Insulating the floor can prevent that heat loss and help you hold heat for longer. 

Find out how you could improve the thermal performance of your floors and transform the warmth in your home by giving us a call today.

Floors can be insulated by lifting the floorboards and inserting insulating material in the space between the joists. The floorboards are then put back on top of the now insulated frame.

Floor insulation can also prevent drafts from coming through floorboards which can create an uncomfortable living space above. Interested to see if this would make a difference to your home? Make an inquiry today and we’ll even check if you qualify for floor insulation grants.

Adding insulation to your suspended floors is very quick to install.   Homeowners often don’t realise we have been, but they notice the benefits straight away. All our Vertas customers have been delighted with the results of their underfloor insulation.

• Lower your heating bills by up to £50* a year.
• Reduce carbon emissions.
• Reduce draughts in your home.
• Make your living space more comfortable.
• Stop heat escaping through the ground floor. 
• Quick and easy to install.

Under floor insulation grants are available for homeowners in the UK as part of the government’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. Get free funding to improve the warmth of your suspended wooden floors and reduce the cost of your heating bills. Not sure if you’re eligible? It can be difficult to keep up with the changing requirements, so get in touch and we can help. Grants are also available to improve the insulation of your loft, external walls and internal walls too. Why not install insulation to the rest of your home at the same time as your floors. Check your eligibility for funding now. 

Does your house always feel cold? Are there lots of draughts? It could be due to uninsulated gaps between your exterior walls. These cavities let out massive amounts of heat.

Cavity wall insulation involves filling the space between the inner and outer exterior walls. You can use a variety of materials for filling the cavity space, including urea formaldehyde expanding foam, cellulose, polystyrene beads and mineral wool or rock wool. At Vertas Homes, we prefer to use polystyrene beads as they are much more effective and provide exceptional insulation. You’ll notice a difference in the warmth of your house straight away. 

Cavity wall insulation is an effective way to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and it can also help to reduce noise pollution. Want to find out more? Get in touch.

Small holes are drilled into the outside walls and the insulating material is pumped inside. The holes are then filled once that section is full. The process is repeated around the side of the house until all walls are filled. The final result is barely noticeable, but you will start to notice improvements. 

Cavity wall insulation can be easily retrofitted in homes and it is a quick and efficient process.  Why not call us and chat about how the process would work and find out about cavity wall insulation grants in your area.

With cavity wall insulation you will notice an instant change to the warmth of your home and how long your house is able to hold heat. You’ll then start seeing reduced heating bills too as what heating you do use will last longer. Cavity wall insulation is an easy and quick way to improve your energy efficiency. 

• Reduces your annual energy bills
• Reduces heat loss by 35%
• Reduces your carbon footprint
• Protects you from spiralling energy prices
• Improves Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
• Keeps your home warmer for longer
• Provides a more even temperature and reduces draughts
• Easy to install and fast
• No impact to the look of your home

If you claim benefits, then you may be able to get free cavity wall insulation. We can check if you can get free government grants for cavity wall insulation through the UK Government’s Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) Scheme. It’s worth applying for, particularly as fuel bills are rising substantially. With a cavity wall insulation grant, you could protect yourself from future price hikes or energy price cap rises.

Get in contact with us and we’ll check when your house was built and verify that you don’t currently have cavity wall insulation. We’ll also check your eligibility for funding. Let us handle the application and start saving you money today.

The easiest way to find out if you have a cavity wall type is to check the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of your property, if you have one.
