Since October 2003 average energy prices have increased by a staggering 91% for gas and 58% for electricity, with the average household bill, now standing at over £1000 [1].
Coupled with this economic effect, is the impact globally on the environment, through increased energy consumption. As much as a quarter of all UK CO2 emissions come from the way we heat our homes [2].
33% of heat escapes through the walls of our house, using Polarwall can help to dramatically reduce this, we can even provide you with a house that doesn't need heating at all.
Offering excellent energy efficiency is also a good selling point. With the introduction of new HIPS and energy performance certificates (EPC), it is expected that Polarwall will significantly enhance the energy rating of a new house compared with a traditionally constructed building.
