Understanding Wall Insulation

Wall insulation is a key component in making homes more energy-efficient, comfortable, and cost-effective. It serves as a barrier that slows the movement of heat, helping keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

There are two main types of wall insulation

External wall insulation

This is applied to homes with solid walls, which do not have gaps and therefore lose more heat than cavity walls. Insulation can be added either internally or externally to reduce heat loss.

Cavity wall insulation

Used in homes with cavity walls, which consist of two walls separated by a hollow space, or cavity. Insulating this space can significantly enhance thermal performance and energy efficiency.

Key benefits of wall insulation

Energy efficiency

Energy efficiency

By reducing heat transfer through the walls, it can lower heating and cooling costs.

Condensation control

Condensation control

By increasing the wall’s temperature, it minimises condensation, dampness, and mould growth.

Noise reduction

Noise reduction

The added insulation acts as a sound barrier, creating a quieter home environment.

Increased property value

Increased property value

Besides saving money on utility bills, it but can also make the property more appealing to energy-conscious buyers.
