Insulation of Single-Family Homes – What Materials to Choose in 2025?

Home Insulation is one of the most important investments you can make for your property. It not only increases thermal comfort for the residents but also significantly reduces heating bills. In times of rising energy prices and growing environmental requirements, proper thermal insulation is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity.

Why Insulate a Single-Family Home?

A house without proper insulation can lose up to 30–40% of its heat through walls and the roof. This leads to increased fuel consumption, more frequent use of the heating system, and, of course, higher maintenance costs. Insulating your home helps reduce these losses, improves the building’s energy efficiency, and supports environmental protection.

Additionally, a well-insulated home increases in value – an important advantage if you plan to sell the property in the future.

Best Materials for Insulating Single-Family Homes

The market offers a wide range of solutions. The right choice depends on the building type, your budget, and your expectations. The most commonly used materials include:

• Polystyrene (EPS/XPS) – A popular and affordable material with good thermal insulation properties. Recommended for external walls and foundations.

• Mineral wool – Perfect where additional acoustic insulation is needed. It is also fire-resistant.

• PUR foam (sprayed or in panels) – A modern insulation method ideal for hard-to-reach areas, attics, and roofs.

• Bauter thin-layer insulation – Technologically advanced coatings offering maximum efficiency with minimal thickness. Ideal where space, durability, and moisture resistance are crucial.
