Envelope & insulation
Keep the heat where you paid for it.
Walls, roofs and slabs insulated as one continuous layer, with thermal bridges designed out.
Why it matters in Kashmir
In a simplified calculation, a typical 230 mm brick wall lets heat through about six times faster than the same wall with 100 mm of insulation. Through forty nights of Chillai Kalan, that difference decides whether a room stays warm or the heater runs all night. The trick is continuity: insulation that stops at a slab edge, a lintel or the eaves leaves a cold bridge exactly where damp likes to form.
Try it yourself

Starting from tonight’s reading in Srinagar.
Room at 21 °C. A simplified, steady-state estimate for a plain wall, away from corners and windows. Your home is different: we calculate it room by room.

What a thermal camera sees
Leaky houses glow.
A typical brick house loses heat at the windows, slab edges and eaves. A continuous envelope stays evenly cold outside, because the warmth stays in. Illustrations, not measurements.
What we do
What is included
- Wall, roof and floor insulation, designed as one continuous layer
- Junction details at slab edges, lintels, eaves and plinths
- Airtightness layer and vapour control
- External or internal insulation for existing homes
- Heat-loss calculation before anything is ordered

Your questions
Asked and answered.
Can you insulate a house that is already built?
Yes. Existing homes can usually be insulated from the outside, which keeps room sizes and protects the brick, or from the inside when the facade has to stay as it is. We survey first and recommend the option that suits the walls you have.
Will insulation make the house stuffy?
A well-insulated, airtight house needs planned ventilation. That is why we design it together with fresh-air ventilation, so the air stays fresh without letting the heat out.
How thick should the insulation be?
It depends on the wall, the roof and how you heat the house. We calculate it room by room rather than quoting a single number for every home.
The first step
Start with a heat-loss check.
We visit, measure and calculate how your building loses heat, room by room. Then we show you what would change, what it costs and what it saves, before you commit to anything.
