Fiberglass Insulation Survey
Cavity wall insulation is a method of insulating the walls of a building by filling the space between the inner and outer walls with insulation material. It's a highly effective way to improve the energy efficiency of a home and can significantly reduce heating bills.
Cavity walls are typically found in homes built after the 1920s, and they consist of two walls with a gap in between. The gap is usually around 50mm wide and can be filled with insulation material to improve the thermal efficiency of the building.
The insulation material used for cavity wall insulation can be either mineral wool, foam, or polystyrene beads. The insulation is injected into the cavity through small holes drilled in the outer wall, and the holes are then filled to leave a smooth finish.
Cavity wall insulation can have many benefits, including:
-
Reduced heating bills: Cavity wall insulation can significantly reduce the amount of heat lost through the walls, which can result in lower energy bills.
-
Increased comfort: Insulated walls can help keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, creating a more comfortable living environment.
-
Reduced carbon footprint: By reducing the amount of energy required to heat your home, cavity wall insulation can help to reduce your carbon footprint.

It's important to note that cavity wall insulation is not suitable for all homes, and it's essential to have a professional assess your home's suitability before installation.
