The house is the best place we have to be protected from the cold. However, currently, most homes do not have a high level of thermal insulation, to the point that they lose much of the energy they produce. In these cases, no matter how much we increase the heating of the home, we continue to feel cold since the energy is lost. This, in addition to causing an unpleasant situation, also means greater energy expenditure.
How to insulate a house from the cold by doing renovations
The roof is one of the elements of the house where a greater loss of energy is suffered. If we have good thermal insulation on the roof, energy savings can be up to 35%. To do this, nothing better than using a material such as extruded polystyrene or XPS. This material is capable of protecting us from the cold in winter and the heat in summer.
Other options may be to place mineral wool on the roof, a material that also offers large doses of acoustic insulation to the home. Mineral wool is an affordable material, which is why it has become one of the best alternatives to insulate the house from the cold.
The walls or the walls of the house are other places through which the energy of the home escapes. The ideal in this case is to insulate from the inside (since it is simpler and cheaper) with materials that not only work as thermal insulation, but will also protect us from outside noise. On the one hand, ventilated facades can be installed in the house or an Exterior Thermal Insulation System (SATE). The latter is made up of extruded polystyrene and a few layers of mortar.
