How much insulation a house should have depends on the design of the building, regional climate, energy costs, budget and personal preference. Building codes will only specify the bare minimum that you have to insulate a house, so it is often recommended you add a little extra for good measure.

Choosing the right insulation for your project is vital and the choice is huge. It includes contrasting products such as plastic foam, mineral wool, synthetic polymers and vermiculite, and natural materials such as cellulose, cork, straw and sheep’s wool.
