How does insulation work?

Insulation keeps things warm by stopping heat from escaping, like a cozy blanket around your house.

Imagine you're wearing a fuzzy sweater on a cold day. The sweater traps the warmth from your body, so you don’t feel the chill outside. That’s exactly what insulation does in a house, it traps the warmth inside and stops the cold air from sneaking in.

Think of insulation like a thick blanket between your room and the outside world. When it's chilly outside, the warm air inside your home wants to run away. But insulation is like a sleepy friend who doesn’t want to leave, it slows down the warm air, keeping you nice and toasty.

Without insulation, your house would feel more like being outside on a winter day. You’d need to wear multiple layers just to stay comfortable, like wearing a sweater, a jacket, and maybe even a hat! Insulation helps save energy too, because it doesn’t let all the heat escape, so you don’t need as much heating.
