What is Cavity Wall Insulation?

Cavity wall insulation is the insulation material that is installed into the cavity of a building, which is the space between the inner and outer wall. Cavity wall insulation traps the warm air in and prevents air from circulating around the cavity. By reducing heat loss through the cavity, you could save on your heating bills as well as your home having a better insulating performance.

The SEAI Home Energy Grants programme offers grants to help you improve the insulation of your home through the installation of attic or rafter insulation.

Are my walls Suitable?

Cavity wall insulation can be carried out in most houses built from 1930 onwards. A cavity wall consists of two 4” walls built side by side with a cavity between, held together by wall ties.

We can pump these cavities with high density bonded bead. Properties built from the 1980’s on would regularly have had insulation boards fitted. The remaining cavity can be pumped with bead to top this up.

Is Wall Ventilation Important?

Without effective ventilation moisture can be trapped in the home and turn into condensation, particularly in the winter when surfaces such as walls are cold creating a due point.

The condensation can lead to damp and mould growth which can cause damage to your home and lead to respiratory illnesses for you and your family.

FAQ

Cavity Wall Insulation is a process that involves injecting insulating material into the gap between the inner and outer “skins” (walls) of a building to prevent heat loss.

Most modern houses, especially those built from the 1990s onwards, have cavity walls. They are characterized by two external brick walls with an air-gap between them.

The installation generally takes just one day, depending on the size of the house.

Cavity Wall Insulation can significantly reduce the amount of heat your home loses, helping keep it warm and drastically cutting down your heating bills.

 

Improper installation of insulation can lead to skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. Some insulation materials also pose fire hazards if incorrectly installed. That’s why hiring professionals ensures that installation is done safely and effectively.

Signs of under-insulation include fluctuating indoor temperatures, high energy bills, and walls that are cold to the touch in winter. If your home has these symptoms, it’s a good idea to get an insulation check-up.

It’s installed by drilling small holes in the external wall of your house, through which insulating material is injected. The holes are then filled to maintain the exterior appearance.
