subject: You Can Save Energy If You Install Insulated Plasterboard [print this page] To conserve energy by avoiding unnecessary heating,are you taking some steps to save money? Now, when it comes to insulated plasterboards, they are one of the best ways to keep your home warm.
Depending, you can either have a solid-type or cavity-type wall structure in your house. People with solid walls often can't understand how their heating bills can climb so high. The pure fact is that solid walls do not insulate properly therefore the heat is "escaping" from your home. To prevent this you can install insulation. Installing means that you put it either inside or outside - but of course if you have to option you'd better off installing it inside.
What makes insulated plasterboard different from ordinary plasterboard?
As the name suggest these are specially formed plasterboards that have one task: insulation. These are primary sheets which are of fixed size and could be bought in most hardware store. Since they have standard size it's relatively easy to install them, but if you are not DIY type then you'd probably want to hire a professional to do that. This small investment will be repaid in no time and you will save much more on heating. Recent studies show that a properly installed insulation can save you more than 40% of the heating bill - and what's even better, you are doing the right thing by reducing your carbon footprint. Using less energy means that your home is greener.
The look probably has you worried. Insulated plasterboards do not provide a very sophisticated look for your living spaces. Do not worry - plasterboards come in many different shape and look so you can find the best fit for your needs. If not,you have the choice to purchase those that you can infact paint or put wallpaper on. The full installation can't take more than 1-2 days, a little money and you'll enjoy the benefits for a lifetime.
