Cavity & Solid Wall Insulation
We offer specialised services in both cavity and solid wall insulation to improve the thermal efficiency of your property. Our cavity wall insulation fills the gap between the exterior and interior wall layers with high-quality materials, effectively keeping heat in during winter and out during summer. For buildings with solid walls, we provide options for either external or internal insulation, adding a protective layer that significantly enhances energy efficiency and reduces heating costs, while also contributing to environmental sustainability.
What are the uses of Cavity & Solid Wall Insulation?
1. Energy Efficiency Improvement
​
Both cavity and solid wall insulation significantly reduce the amount of heat lost through the walls of a building. This insulation acts as a barrier, preventing the warm air inside from escaping during the winter and keeping the interior cool by reflecting heat away in the summer. By maintaining a more stable indoor temperature, these insulation methods reduce the need for excessive heating and cooling, leading to lower energy consumption and utility costs.
​
2. Cost Reduction
​
Insulating walls effectively can lead to substantial savings on energy bills. By improving thermal efficiency, both cavity and solid wall insulation minimize the workload on heating and air conditioning systems, reducing wear and tear and potentially extending the life of these systems. This can translate into lower maintenance and replacement costs over time.
​
3. Environmental Impact
​
Enhanced wall insulation helps decrease the carbon footprint of a building. By using less energy for heating and cooling, emissions associated with energy production are reduced. This is particularly significant in regions that rely on fossil fuels for electricity generation.
4. Increased Property Value
Buildings with upgraded insulation often have higher market values. Buyers are increasingly aware of the long-term benefits of energy-efficient homes, including reduced energy costs and increased comfort. This makes insulated properties more attractive on the real estate market.
​
5. Moisture Control
Properly installed cavity and solid wall insulation can help regulate the moisture levels within a building. It prevents the formation of condensation between the insulation and the wall, which can lead to mold and mildew problems if not managed correctly. This is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment and preserving the structural integrity of the building.
​
6. Sound Reduction
Besides thermal benefits, wall insulation can also provide sound insulation. This can be particularly beneficial in noisy environments, as it helps to dampen the transmission of sound from outside to inside and vice versa, creating a quieter and more peaceful living or working space.
​
7. Comfort Enhancement
Insulation helps to eliminate drafts and cold spots in a building. This leads to a more uniform temperature throughout the space, which increases the comfort level for occupants. Comfort is further enhanced by the reduced need to frequently adjust thermostats or rely on auxiliary heating and cooling devices.
​
By addressing these uses and benefits, cavity and solid wall insulation contribute significantly not only to individual building performance but also to broader energy conservation and environmental goals.
