Cavity Wall Insulation

It involves the installation of insulating materials within the wall cavities, between the inner and outer layers of a wall. The primary purpose of cavity insulation is to reduce heat transfer through walls, conserving energy, lowering utility bills, and enhancing the overall comfort.

We supply insulation boards (PIR) and rolls (RWA45 slabs), they are both easy to install by cutting them down to fit the cavity and then placed within it. These boards provide high thermal resistance and can also act as a moisture barrier.

Benefits of Cavity Wall Insulation Panels:

Energy Efficiency: Cavity insulation significantly reduces heat transfer through walls, leading to lower heating and cooling costs by maintaining more stable indoor temperatures.

Comfort: Proper insulation helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, minimizing cold spots and drafts.

Environmental Impact: Reduces energy consumption which lowers greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to a greener environment.

Sound Insulation: Cavity insulation can also improve soundproofing by dampening sound transmission between interior and exterior spaces.

FAQs

How do I know which insulation is right for my home?

It is best to check with your professional builder and your local council for local building codes. These may dictate specific requirements for cavity insulation based on climate, energy efficiency standards, and safety concerns.

How does cavity wall insulation save me money?

While cavity insulation requires an upfront investment, it can lead to substantial long-term savings by reducing energy bills. The exact savings depend on factors like the insulation material used, the climate, and the building's energy consumption.

How do I maintain cavity wall insulation?

Properly installed cavity insulation typically requires minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspections are recommended to ensure there are no issues with moisture, settling, or degradation of the insulation material.
