Cavity wall insulation
Insulating your cavity walls
Did you know that around a third of all the heat lost in an un-insulated home is through the walls? Insulating cavity walls reduces heat loss and can save you over £160 a year on your fuel bills.
What is cavity wall insulation?
If your home was built after the 1920s, it is likely that your external walls are made of two layers with a small gap called a 'cavity' between them. This means you have a `cavity wall'. By filling this cavity 'gap' with insulation you will significantly reduce heat loss from your home, save energy and save money.
Cavity wall insulation is an effective way to save energy and money at home, and just like loft insulation, there are grants available to assist you with the installation costs - with those over 70 or in receipt of certain benefits getting it done for FREE.
A well insulated house keeps warmth exactly where you need it - indoors.
So, insulating your cavity walls will help you to heat your home more efficiently.
Cavity wall insulation can also help to reduce condensation inside the house if it is a problem on external walls.
What could you save?
Cavity wall insulation is so cost effective that it will pay for itself over and over again. The better insulated your home, the less energy you need to keep it warm - and the more money you'll save.
In fact, by insulating your cavity walls you could cut your heating costs by up to 15%. By saving energy, your household will produce less CO2. So, insulating your cavity walls is a great way to help fight climate change.
How does cavity wall insulation work?
Cavity wall insulation helps to prevent warm air from inside your property escaping through you inner wall through the cavity space into the external wall and the outside cold air.
By filling your cavity with cavity wall insulation, it is much harder for the heat to escape, and hence helps to maintain the temperature inside, so that your central heating (or other heating system) has to do less work to keep your home at the right temperature.
Cavity wall installation process
Having cavity wall insulation installed couldn't be easier. It is normally applied from the outside through small holes by injecting the insulation material into the cavity wall gap. The holes are then filled to make as perfect a match as possible with the existing wall.
It's a simple process and is normally completed within 4 hours, with minimum disruption or damage to your home or garden.
Cavity wall insulation grants
If helping the environment and reducing your fuel bills wasn't enough, you may even be able to get your cavity wall insulation installed for FREE (or at least 50% off) - with the aid of a cavity wall insulation grant which doesn't have to be paid back!
