The Importance of Cavity Wall Insulation

Walls, if not properly insulated, can be a major source of heat loss in any building. In fact, roughly 33% of the total heat loss from a domestic dwelling with no cavity wall insulation of any kind is through the walls. The importance of cavity wall insulation therefore cannot be underestimated. Not only can it reduce the amount of energy required to heat your home and the associated costs by 15% or more, but it can, in turn, reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main “greenhouse” gas.

Most UK homes that have been built since the 1920s have cavity walls. These external walls consist of two layers of brick with a gap or cavity left between them. By filling this cavity with insulating material, you can greatly reduce the amount of heat which is lost through the walls of your home. Cavity wall insulation is one of the most simple and cost efficient ways of insulating your home, saving the average home 15% on energy bills. This works out at around £90 per year and will reduce carbon emissions by 750kg annually. Read More
