House insulation types

The level of insulation in your home will have a big effect on how big a stove you need to heat. Here is a bit more information about we've broken down the different types of home. If you can't find an exact match then just pick whichever seems closest:

Uninsulated: is either a townhouse with double brick walls, single glazing, uninsulated roof, and poor draughtproofing, or a farmhouse with stone walls (and the rest of the details the same).

Uninsulated Townhouse with cavity: has cavity walls, single glazing, 50mm roof insulation, and poor draughtproofing.

Renovated Townhouse without cavity: has double brick walls, double glazing, 100mm roof insulation, draughtproofing and floor insulation.

Renovated Townhouse with cavity: has insulated cavity walls, double glazing, 100mm roof insulation, draughtproofing and floor insulation.

Newbuild: is a house built to current building regs.

Passive House: is a mega insulated house with heat recovery insulation and the works.
