Energy saver insulation.
How to improve thermal insulation levels in your home?*
About 16% to 25% of heat in the home escapes through walls.

Insulating your home wall is a great way to bring down the price of your heating bills.
There are a number of different types of energy savers insulations, all of them stop heat leaving through each wall in your home, but not all of them perform as good as thermal insulated plasterboard.
This great time-saver offers you assurance that your insulation is going to stay in place.
It is a cheaper solution than buying both constituent parts. Insulated plasterboard is incredibly popular due to installation time and cost.
