Cavity wall insulation is an effective energy efficiency measure that could save you hundreds of pounds per year.
At NewGen we are supporting households in attaining their free home upgrades via the latest phase of the ECO funding scheme. Backed by the UK government, we can guide you through your online application process, set up a survey of your home, and send out qualified installers to get the job done.
Post 1920s the use of cavity walls has been common practice in building and development. This consists of a wall made up of two layers or “skins” with a gap in between, known as the cavity. The outer skin is usually constructed of brickwork while the inner skin may be blockwork or masonry. The purpose of a cavity wall is to prevent water from reaching the internal part of the wall and to improve the thermal efficiency of the wall.
Cavity wall insulation involves filling this gap between the inner and outer walls with an insulating material, such as mineral wool, foam, or beads. This helps to prevent heat from escaping through the walls, making your home more energy-efficient and reducing your heating bills.
Cavity wall insulation works by creating an extra layer of thermal resistance, slowing down the transfer of heat from one side of the wall to the other. This is particularly effective because air is a poor conductor of heat, and the trapped air pockets in the insulating material help to block any heat loss through convection. This results in a warmer home that stays at a more constant temperature, meaning you may even be able to turn down your thermostat and save even more on your energy bills.
The benefits of insulating your cavity wall of course include creating a more comfortable living environment for you and your family, whilst also helping to reduce your energy bills and carbon emissions. You will notice a significant reduction in the amount of heat loss through your walls and will instead enjoy a cosy home, particularly in winter months.
Additionally, cavity wall insulation can also help to reduce condensation and dampness within your home, improving air quality and potentially reducing any associated health issues. Insulating your cavity walls can also increase the value of your property and make it more attractive to potential buyers.
Households that have already installed cavity wall insulation to their homes have noticed savings of up to £300 per year! So, why not join them? WIth the ECO funding scheme, it’s now more accessible than ever for homes across the UK to receive FREE insulation at no cost to you.
