Cavity Wall Insulation
Walls leak more heat than any other part of the home – around a third, in an
uninsulated home.
Insulate cavity walls and save £130-160 and around 1 tonne of CO2 a year.
How cavity wall insulation works
Filling the gap between the two walls of a house with an insulating material
massively decreases the amount of heat which escapes through the walls.
It will help create a more even temperature in your home, help prevent
condensation on the walls and ceilings and can also reduce the amount of
heat building up inside your home during summer hot spells.
