Many people don’t think about insulating their garden buildings, but with the appearance of man caves, garden gin bars and office spaces it’s something that more people have started to ask us about…
So, with that in mind we thought we would write a quick introduction to insulating your garden buildings with ease and the different products available from SuperFOIL.
The top 3 reasons why you should insulate your garden buildings!
- Your garden buildings will be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter
Have you got a shed that feels more like a greenhouse? A tropical climate during the summer months and then a freezer during the winter? By insulating your garden buildings, it will allow you to spend those extra hours out in the garden by ensuring a more stable temperature in your buildings whatever the season.
2. You’ll save money on your energy bills
No more having to use expensive space heaters at full blast whilst you’re working in your garden shed. By insulating you are reducing the need to be using heaters or fans whilst you are busy working. Not only is this saving money on your energy bills, but it is reducing your carbon footprint too.
3. Insulating your garden buildings is a simple DIY project
It really is a simple DIY job to do, whatever product you chose to use. And with no specialist equipment required, it’s a job you can start at the weekend!
