Boosting Thermal Performance of your York Property

What is thermal performance? When we talk about a home’s thermal performance we are referring to its ability to retain heat in the winter and protect against heat in the summer. All of this serves to make for a more comfortable home while boosting energy efficiency and cutting costs.

We are able to advise on work that provide great insulation and rendering that will offer maximum boosts to the thermal performance of your particular home. Older homes (built before 1919) are likely to have ‘solid’ as opposed to ‘cavity’ walls. Solid walls will let heat escape at a much higher rate. Fortunately such walls can be insulated from the outside through the rendering process, leading to less heat loss in winter and reduced energy bills. Detached properties can benefit from up to £450 per annum savings when externally insulated, which is a substantial saving.
