Insulating your home acts a little bit like a flask which keeps drinks hot or cold by providing an insulating layer between the drink and the outside air. Air is a poor conductor of heat, so the tiny pockets of air gets trapped in the insulation which minimises the amount of heat which can pass between the inside and outside of your house.
