Product Information

If your home has solid walls, you can insulate either outside or inside. You won’t lose space if you choose to insulate from outside but the overall cost will be higher. Again, installing or adding insulation to the external walls is usually not a DIY project. For internal walls, rigid foam boards from brands such as Celotex or Kingspan are often used because of their excellent thermal properties and their thinness. There are a lot of ways to stay warm and cozy in your bed on a cold winter night. Fleece or flannel pajamas and cozy blankets in down, fleece, and even cashmere are great options. Electric blankets and heated mattress pads are another option. But be aware that placing a heated covering directly over a latex or memory foam mattresses may interfere with the shaping of the mattress and cause damage. FAQs

For external walls, you first need to fix a layer of insulation material to the wall. The next step is to cover it with cladding or cement. In most cases, mineral wool insulation or expanded polystyrene slabs are fixed to the wall, before being rendered to make it weather resistant. There are many types of insulation products used on walls. For instance, in a house under construction, it is not uncommon to use Fiberglass wall insulation roll, on all sides of a finished wall. The rate at which you will recoup your investment depends on where you install the insulation (internal or external walls), what types of walls you have (solid or cavity walls) and the type of insulation material you choose.According to the UK government's statistics, there are more than 6 million houses in the UK that have installed cavity wall insulation. That's a significant number of households enjoying some sort of saving on their heating bills. Silk: Silk sheets offer more than luxury. They are versatile enough to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They also have a hugging effect, making you feel enveloped in warmth. Wall, both interior and exterior, are areas that need insulation. For exterior walls, most people choose to install rigid boards along with a vapour barrier. On the other hand, cellulose, foam, and/or fibreglass batts are mostly used for interior walls. Insulated roofing sheets often have a trapezoidal box profile structure. There is an alternative option of corrugated profile and traditional tile-look.

Linen: Like cotton, linen is also a natural fabric that is popular for its loose weave, providing excellent airflow. Note that linen sheets tend to be less soft than other materials. When you install insulation on your external walls, it is important to ensure that it adheres to the building regulations of the UK. Here, we are talking about the insulation’s thermal performance. Your external wall insulation needs to achieve a U-value of 0.30 watts/m2k. But the benefits to your quality of life will be felt straight away. Your home will be more resilient to changes in temperature and more energy efficient. Microfiber sheets capture body heat and sleep hotter than cotton, making them a better fit for chilly fall and winter nights. Summary To make things easier you usually have either EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) at 90mm, Mineral wool at 110mm or PIR at 70mm on external walls.

Bamboo sheets, or sheets made from bamboo fibers, are insulating and adjust to your body temperature to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It’s important to think about how much you’re willing to spend for sheets that typically won’t stay on your bed all year long. If you live in a climate that doesn’t get that cold, it may not be necessary to get the most luxurious and warmest option. On the other hand, if you do live in a cold climate, it’s a smart investment to plan ahead for a good set of sheets that will keep you comfortable and cozy all night long. More bedding to keep you warm during the winter In the UK, most homeowners tend to avoid insulating interior walls – which goes against every insulation theory dropped on this planet since 1867. Insulating interior walls can provide you with some sort of soundproofing facility and money-saving on energy bills. While more expensive than internal insulation, it is very effective and should not be overlooked. Plus you can lower the cost if other major works are carried on at the same time. Thread count refers to the number of yarns in a square inch of fabric, but it shouldn't be a major factor when deciding which cooling sheets to buy. In Good Housekeeping evaluations, thread count did not correlate with performance, but when shopping for 100% cotton, single ply weaves, our tests found that 300 to 500 is ideal.
