Remember the houses of our grand-fathers with a big backyard, trees all around…No matter how hot it was the house was a great place to be in. Come back to now, houses are being nearer to each other. Forget about Port-Louis, elsewhere plots are getting smaller in size but not the houses.

Saving on costs

One the main advantages of insulation that clients do not see is the energy saving. With a properly insulated house, the owners do not have to keep the AC on all day during summer and same thing for the heater during winter. It also means a house that is much more comfortable to live in. Another cost-saving factor to be considered is the use of less building material. When insulation is accounted for, builders can allow for lighter materials like steel, more adapted to the climate and the environment.

Mauritians are more and more keen on hiding plumbing fixtures. With a good thought on the planning of insulation, no wires or tubes are apparent without having to find an extra budget.

One of main disadvantages of having less and less space between neighbors is the noise. Chances of seeing and hearing what’s happening in the neighbors house are high when they’re less than two metres away !

With insulation, the noise outside is considerably reduced which means that your clients does not have to hear dinner talks of the neighbors.

No sick house syndrome

Volatile organic compounds, molds and improper ventilation have and are still causing distress despite campaigns of World Heath Organisation. With eco-friendly insulation, the use of chemicals having adverse effects on the human health is definitely discarded. Cotton, wool, cellulose…these new recycled materials that are all cost-effective.
