CERT Insulation Subsidy: General Information

What is CERT and why is my insulation being subsidised?

The Carbon Emission Reduction Target or CERT is a scheme introduced by government that requires gas and electricity suppliers to achieve targets for a reduction in carbon emissions generated by the domestic sector. The scheme involves a number of initiatives to achieve this target including the provision of an incentive for the promotion of DIY loft insulation. In the case of Sheep Wool Insulation, the incentive is the reduced price to DIY customers on our range of Comfort insulation rolls.

Comfort insulation rolls are a range of grey coloured natural sheep's wool thermal / acoustic insulation rolls that are delivered in a number of convenient sizes. For the purpose of the CERT insulation subsidy, Comfort rolls are for use in your loft. They can be installed by unrolling directly on to the loft floor or on top of existing insulation.
To meet current building regulations, the recommended depth of Comfort insulation on your loft floor is 250-270mm. This can be achieved for example, by installing a layer of 100mm between floor joists and a layer of 150mm across them or by installing a layer of 100mm on top of existing 150mm of glass fibre insulation.

Depending on your house type, you could be losing up to 30% of your heating costs through your roof. If you top up to the recommended depth you will considerably reduce this lost energy and feel even more warm and toasty in the colder months. Some of the great advantages of using natural Sheep Wool Insulation are:

• Superior Performance: Comfort is a highly effective insulation roll with a superior thermal performance over glass or mineral wool products. Comfort is made of pure new wool fibres, which hold their shape and thickness right throughout their lifetime. Being produced from 100% pure wool fibres, Comfort is a fully breathable material that will maintain its thermal efficiency even in the harshest climates.

• Safe and Healthy: Comfort is a safe material, not only to handle and install, but to have within your home. Wool fibres are safe to touch and work with, requiring no special handling or protective equipment. Comfort insulation rolls can be installed on top of existing glass or mineral wool, reducing the opportunity for their potentially hazardous particles to become airborne. Due to it's high moisture content, wool does not support combustion and will extinguish itself when the source of flame is removed. In the event of a fire, wool is a much safer material than man-made products as it does not release poisonous fumes.

• Pure and Natural: Sheep Wool Insulation products have unrivalled environmental credentials, making it them the "greenest" choice of any insulation product on the market. Sheep's wool is a naturally occurring fibre, so it is a renewable and sustainable source of raw material. Wool has zero global warming potential and is carbon neutral, so choosing Comfort means your insulation will have no environmental impact. Sheep Wool Insulation also requires only a fraction of the energy to produce in comparison to other insulation materials. At the end of its useful life, Comfort can be reused as insulation, recycled into other wool products or buried where it will eventually biodegrade.

• Value: Comfort is a very competitively priced natural insulation range. As the lowest priced pure wool fibre insulation in the world, Comfort leads the way in giving homeowners, builders and professionals the choice to use natural materials in their projects. Being produced in both 100mm and 150mm thick rolls, Comfort needs less layers to meet modern building regulations, saving time and even more money during installation.
