Interior Designers Promoting Insulation in Homes

Two interior designers are helping to promote insulation in homes, in conjunction with the Go Greener campaign of the Scottish Government, that aims to help homes become more eco friendly.

The designers, Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan, teamed up with the environment minister Roseanna Cunningham to promote the campaign at the Glasgow Science Centre.

McAllister said that ‘having a fabulous home also means a home that is kind to the environment’. This means including insulation, not only as a way to help the environment, but also to help save money on energy bills.

He also stated that his own home in Glasgow is well insulated, helping him to know that he is doing his part to help the environment.

There are a number of different measures promoted by the government, including double glazing. By creating a layer of air between two panes of glass in the window, heat is trapped inside the home stopping wastage and saving money. Double glazing can also help to block out excessive noise, as well as being extremely secure.

On top of double glazing, other measures that can help homeowners to save on energy bills include insulation in lofts and walls. Combined, these measures can save hundreds of pounds on energy bills each and every year.

As part of the Scottish government’s campaign, the Energy Saving Trust will also be giving out advice about the practicalities of installing these measures. Get in touch if you want to find out whether there is financial help available for you to upgrade your home.
