Wall Insulation
CAVITY WALL INSULATION
35% of all heat from a property is lost through the walls, this is the largest way heat is lost from most properties. For Cavity Wall homes, this can be cut by over 85%. Homes built after 1930’s are generally built with 2 walls, an outer and an inner wall. The gap between them is the cavity.
This gap can then be filled with insulation to drastically reduce heat loss through the walls. From this, You can expect your home to heat up quicker, stay warmer for longer periods and a large reduction in your Energy Bill.
There are 2 types of Cavity Insulation, Premium Glass Fibre and Superior Blown Bead Insulation. Both are excellent options and provide the best-in-class insulation. Our trained professionals will make small holes on the outer wall and then pump in the insulation and seal the holes to match your wall colour. The appearance of your home will remain the same. After your Insulation is installed, you can expect Heat Waste through walls to reduce to around 4%
INTERNAL WALL INSULATION
Insulating your Internal walls will make a big impact on annual heating bills, and make your home more comfortable, it will also reduce the chances of moisture in your property, reducing Damp and Mould Issues
Internal Wall Insulation is very similar to external wall insulation, except that the insulation is applied to the inside of the property rather than the outside. Internal wall insulation is done by fitting rigid insulation boards to the wall, or by building a stud wall filled in with insulation material such as Mineral Wool Fibre, It does not reduce space inside your home as it is level with window bannisters.
Internal Wall Insulation can also make homes more responsive to heating. This is because the heat is retained directly within the room, rather than being stored in the walls. As such, it can provide a more effective solution for heating individual rooms and make rooms much warmer.
EXTERNAL WALL INSULATION
More than a third of all heat lost in uninsulated homes escapes through external walls. The better insulated your home is, the less heat you lose, meaning you do not need to turn on your heating as often (saving you money!)
Most properties built prior to 1930 were constructed with solid walls, so they don’t have cavity gaps that can be filled with insulation. These solid wall properties can be insulated with sustainable external solid insulation. The purpose of insulating in this manner is to slow down the movement of heat going out through the walls, thereby retaining heat for longer and reduce the demand for heat
External Wall Insulation involves fixing an insulating material to the exterior of the property and covering it with a special type of Plaster/Cladding, which then improves the overall thermal efficiency of your home and retain heat better, it will also reduce the level of noise penetration in and out of your property, making your home much more comfortable.
