Keen to support the local community, Knauf Insulation are proud to
be sponsoring St Helens Rugby League Football Club – the Saints –
in their quest for further success in this year’s Rugby
Superleague. Thinksulation®, the energy efficiency initiative
jointly sponsored by Knauf Insulation and the Energy Saving Trust,
promoted the opening match of the season and were rewarded by the
Saints taking a convincing win. Well done! Warm glows all
round!
In muddy conditions at their Knowsley Road Stadium, the Saints took
the honours in their opening match with a conclusive, 40-18 win
over the Widnes Vikings. Prematch and half-time entertainment
centred on the cheerleaders and opportunities to win a signed
Saints shirt and for one lucky ‘punter’ – congratulations Lloyd
Neary of Walton Avenue, Warrington! – a Home Insulation
Transformation that includes both cavity wall and loft
insulation.
As Executive Match Sponsors, Knauf Insulation gave Thinksulation®
the opportunity to promote itself to a chilly crowd. Specifically
created with homeowners in mind, Thinksulation® shows how they can
benefit from effective home insulation and, in doing so, make a
positive contribution towards reducing Global Warming. A dedicated
call-centre and website offer information and practical advice
about all aspects of home insulation, its benefits, the Government
subsidies that are available and can arrange surveys and quotes for
installation.
The UK Government’s commitment to the Kyoto Protocol means making a
dramatic reduction in the amount of greenhouse gases created by
burning fossil fuels to produce energy. Their studies, which
underpin the current Energy Efficiency Commitment, concluded that
household cavity wall and loft insulation would prove the two most
effective methods – but also revealed that ‘householder apathy’
could prove a significant barrier to achieving the necessary
step-change in domestic energy efficiency.
To win this particular battle in the war against Global Warming,
the Government has adopted a policy of encouraging homeowners to
improve their insulation by subsidising its installation. This is
great news for homeowners and the environment – homes will be
warmer, energy bills will be lower and, of course, less CO2 will be
created. There’s never been a better time for homeowners to
insulate their homes – and save the planet by saving money!
