Cavity Wall Insulation Benefits

Cavity walling insulation can offer a range of benefits to your Merseyside home, some of which may be more obvious than others. Insulating cavity walls allows them to retain heat well and become a proper part of your home’s insulation, which can be invaluable for a number of different reasons:

Heating

Insulated cavity walls can keep your home warm more effectively. This solves the problem of an external wall, often being an exposed site that can lose a lot of heat since the “outside wall” has no real insulation stopping it from leaking heat.

This is especially true of older houses built before the 1990s in Merseyside since these often lack insulation entirely. Even if they have been insulated since, cavity walls often go overlooked at first, making them a common cause for external walls leaking more heat than they should be.

Speed

Cavity wall insulation is a lot faster than other insulation installation types. This fast installation process means that it is easy to get the gap between the two walls filled with a suitable material, even if you have a tight schedule and can only let contractors into your house on specific days.

Unlike trying to insulate solid walls or installing something like loft insulation, cavity walls are very easy to insulate. This means less time taken to insulate the outside walls in Merseyside, meaning that you see reduced energy bills faster and are not caught up in a long installation process that wastes your time.

Cost

Cavity wall insulation can be relatively cheap, even if it can’t really be installed on your own. While many people may try to insulate external walls using DIY methods, cavity wall insulation is overall fairly cheap and quickly pays for itself through the heating bills you save money on.

This is also far less costly than trying to replace cavity walls with solid walls or taking other measures that would directly alter your external walls. Simply insulating the gap provides a lot more insulation that stops external walls from leaking warmth so fast.

Reduced Bills

A properly insulated home means lower bills since all the heat loss becomes much less of a concern, and there is not an obvious place for it to “leak” out during colder weather. This means that it costs less to warm up your house, allowing you to spend much less on house heating due to the reduced heat loss.

As you might expect, less heat lost means lower costs overall. By using insulating materials, you can mitigate heat loss by filling in the gaps between the two walls – a change that you will barely notice within the house but definitely notice on your monthly bills.

Lower Carbon Footprint

Cavity wall insulation means that you are heating your Merseyside home more efficiently, meaning less energy wasted. Lower energy bills and reduced energy usage mean that you are not drawing more energy than needed to warm up your home, which means that you are not using as much energy overall.

This contributes to lower carbon emissions, at least slightly. While one house may not see enough of a change in energy usage for this to make much difference, a whole block getting their cavity walls insulated can massively reduce the energy that they consume, meaning less overall pollution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth getting cavity wall insulation for external walls?

Cavity wall insulation is a popular choice for boosting energy efficiency alongside options like loft insulation. This helps make your outer wall much better at retaining warmth, especially compared to bare brickwork or other types of non-insulated cavity walls.

What are the disadvantages of getting cavity wall insulation installed?

Not all homes are suitable for cavity wall insulation. Knowing if you have a home suitable for this insulation depends on several factors, such as whether or not the brickwork is in good condition and the walls themselves are not exposed to driving rain.

Contact us if you want advice on how to tell if your outside walls are right for this kind of installation.

How much should cavity wall insulation cost?

The average cost of insulation for cavity walls per square meter tends to be around £21-£22 overall. Of course, this varies based on a lot of factors, especially when you take the cost of the installation service itself into account (including fuel prices for deliveries, etc).

Am I entitled to free cavity wall insulation?

The UK Government can provide funding for energy-saving measures under plans like the ECO4 scheme. Be sure to look into the exact schemes running right now that offer these free benefits – they may change over time, and new ones may be brought in to replace old schemes.

There are also benefits to homes under certain council tax bands and other circumstances that may allow you to claim extra help towards funding these insulation projects.

What is the government insulation scheme for 2023?

The current Great British Insulation Scheme runs until March 2026, providing extra funding to households that want proper house insulation. This often includes having cavity walls filled on your property.

We can break down the current government schemes that may apply to your proposed project and help you secure the extra funding that you need to get the insulation you are looking for.

How can I tell if I have cavity walls?

There are various ways to check where cavity walls are, such as the brick pattern they use, as well as whether or not they are ready for insulation. As a registered installer, we can take care of this inspection to make sure that your property is prepared for the installation.

A borescope inspection is the most direct way, using a small hole to see whether the walls are hollow or filled. These same holes can also be used to check on existing insulation materials if that part of your house has any.

Every property is different, but a house with cavity walls can almost always get them insulated. It is just that the house itself may need some extra work done if these walls are damaged, weak, or otherwise unsuitable on their own.

Does cavity wall insulation save money?

The Energy Saving Trust and National Housing Model have proven that this kind of insulation really helps with saving money, even if not all the heating is properly trapped. The reduced energy usage and better heating retention ensure lower heating bills for your property overall.

The more heating a gas-heated home can retain, the less gas they are using. This means lower costs and a better EPC rating (efficiency rating), as well as reduced emissions.

What is cavity wall insulation made of?

Most cavity insulation is either mineral wool, polystyrene beads or polyurethane foam.

Polyurethane foam is chemical-resistant, whereas polystyrene beads are better for managing water vapour. Polystyrene beads are also great at avoiding moisture damage since the polystyrene beads themselves are not sensitive to moisture.

However, mineral wool is elastic, whereas polystyrene beads and panels are more solid. This can make mineral wool better for dealing with non-flat spaces and allows most mineral wool insulation to fit into spaces like bay windows or smooth circular corners.

Where do they drill for cavity wall insulation?

Most cavity insulation requires small holes near the base of the mortar joint between individual bricks in the brick pattern. These holes vary based on how the insulation is installed, though, and each property may require slightly different techniques and placements for creating the holes.

Like any A&D (architecture and design) change to your property, the specific A&D requirements vary to suit each home. This means that the placement of the hole and the focus of the drilling work will vary based on the actual A&D details of how your home is laid out.

Summary

Whether you are dealing with damp patches or just want to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs, insulating cavity walls can be a fantastic option for keeping your home heated.
