Benefits of Cavity Wall Insulation
Cavity insulation helps to:
-
Keeps Heat in and Cold Out
Insulates the gap between your walls to create a thermal barrier, ensuring warm air stays inside during winter and hot air is kept out during summer.
-
Lowers Energy Bills
By reducing heat loss, you could save up to £410 annually on heating costs.
-
Eco-Friendly
Minimises energy consumption, helping to lower your carbon footprint.
-
Enhanced Comfort
Keeps your home at a comfortable temperature all year round.
How Is Cavity Wall Insulation Installed?
Cavity insulation is inserted into the gaps between the inner and outer walls of your home:
-
1
Small holes are drilled into the external wall.
-
2
Insulation material, such as mineral wool or polyurethane foam, is installed by pumping insulation into walls and the cavity.
-
3
The holes are sealed with mortar once the insulation is in place. The process is quick and typically takes around two hours, though this depends on the size of your property.
How to Check if Your Home Has Cavity Walls
- Build Date: Homes built after 1920 are likely to have cavity walls.
- Brick Pattern: If the exterior bricks are uniform in size, it suggests cavity walls; a mix of long and short bricks indicates solid walls.
- Wall Thickness: Walls thicker than 260mm generally feature a cavity.
