Why wall insulation matters
Wall insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve a building’s energy performance. It works by slowing down heat transfer through your walls, which helps keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. In an uninsulated property, up to 35% of heat can escape through the walls, so adding insulation can make a noticeable difference to your comfort and your bills.
Well-installed insulation can also prevent damp and condensation, create a more consistent indoor temperature, and even reduce outside noise. In short, it’s an upgrade that improves not just your energy efficiency, but your overall quality of life.
Types of wall insulation we cover
Cavity wall insulation
Cavity wall insulation fills the gap between two layers of brick or blockwork with insulating material such as foam, beads, or mineral wool. It’s a quick and effective way to stop heat loss in homes built after the 1920s.
Solid wall insulation
For older properties with no cavity, solid wall insulation can be added internally or externally. Internal insulation involves fitting rigid boards or insulated plasterboard to the inside of your walls, while external wall insulation adds insulation boards to the outside and finishes them with render or cladding. Both methods improve warmth and energy performance but have different costs, benefits, and visual results.
Internal stud wall insulation
Internal stud wall insulation is used to insulate or soundproof partition walls within your home. It’s ideal for improving acoustic comfort or separating heated and unheated areas, such as between a living room and a garage.
The benefits of wall insulation
Reduce heat loss and energy bills
Wall insulation significantly reduces heat loss, which can help lower your energy bills by hundreds of pounds a year. It also makes your home more energy efficient, which contributes to a better EPC rating and higher property value.
Improve comfort and indoor air quality
Insulated walls help eliminate cold spots and draughts, creating a more comfortable indoor environment all year round. When installed correctly, insulation can also reduce condensation, helping to maintain a healthy home and avoiding damage caused by damp.
Support sustainability and reduce carbon footprint
Installing insulation is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to make your home more sustainable. By using less energy for heating, you reduce your carbon footprint and help support the UK’s net zero goals.
