Cavity Wall Insulation
As part of our commitment to helping homeowners reduce energy consumption and lower heating costs, we offer comprehensive cavity wall insulation surveys.
What is Cavity Wall Insulation?
Cavity wall insulation is a method used to improve the energy efficiency of a building by filling the gap (or cavity) between the two layers of external walls.
This gap can lead to significant heat loss, as air trapped within the cavity can escape, causing the interior of the building to lose warmth.
Cavity wall insulation works by injecting insulating material into the cavity, reducing the amount of heat that escapes and helping to keep your home warmer. The most commonly used materials for this purpose include mineral wool, polystyrene beads, or polyurethane foam, each of which has excellent insulating properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cavity wall insulation involves filling the gap between the two layers of your home’s external walls with insulating material. This helps to reduce heat loss, keep your home warmer, and lower your energy bills. The most commonly used materials for this process are mineral wool, polystyrene beads, and polyurethane foam.
Most houses built after the 1920s have cavity walls. To check, look at the brickwork pattern; if all the bricks look the same length, it likely has cavity walls. Alternatively, you can measure the width of your walls. If the walls are over 260mm thick, they probably have a cavity.
Cavity wall insulation offers several benefits, including:
- Reduced heat loss and lower energy bills
- Improved home comfort with more consistent temperatures
- Reduced risk of damp and mould
- Lower carbon footprint, contributing to environmental sustainability
Most homes with cavity walls are suitable for insulation. However, our professional surveyors at MB Solutions will conduct a thorough assessment to ensure your property is suitable. Factors such as wall structure, cavity size, and potential obstacles will be evaluated.
Why You Should Have Cavity Wall Insulation
There are several compelling reasons to consider cavity wall insulation for your property. Firstly, it significantly reduces heat loss, which can result in lower heating bills. By preventing warm air from escaping, your heating system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature, leading to considerable savings on energy costs.
Secondly, cavity wall insulation can improve the overall comfort of your home. A well-insulated house retains heat more effectively, ensuring a more consistent indoor temperature and reducing cold spots. This not only enhances the living environment but also contributes to better health by minimising the risk of damp and mould, which can thrive in poorly insulated homes.
Additionally, cavity wall insulation is an environmentally friendly choice. By reducing the amount of energy needed to heat your home, you lower your carbon footprint, contributing to efforts to combat climate change. Insulating your walls is a simple yet effective way to make your home more sustainable and environmentally responsible.
