Solid Wall Insulation

What is Solid Wall Insulation?

Solid wall insulation is a way to improve the insulation of your home, reducing heat loss and importantly, keeping costs down.

Unlike cavity walls, solid walls are traditionally built before 1930 with no cavities or gaps in the middle. Therefore solid walls must be insulated internally or externally.

What are the benefits of Solid Wall Insulation?

Homes losing heat are losing money. A poorly insulated house will be costing significantly more in heating bills than a fully insulated house. Insulation slows the transfer of heat, reducing the amount of energy consumption and keeping it warmer in winter.

Vice versa insulated walls slow the transfer of heat, so in the summer it will maintain a cooler temperature for a house which uses air conditioning.

Internal Wall Insulation is a fantastic way of increasing the energy efficiency of your home, upgrading your insulation will provide you with a number of benefits including reducing your CO2 emissions, reduced fuel bills, increased thermal comfort and reduced risk of condensation and mould growth.

Is My Home Suitable For Solid Wall Insulation?

Solid Wall Insulation is suitable for your home if:

Important To Consider

Will slightly reduce the floor area of any rooms in which it is applied (the thickness of the insulation is around 100mm).
Can be quite disruptive, but can be done room by room.
Requires skirting boards, door frames and external fittings to be removed and reattached.
Can make it hard to fix heavy items to inside walls – although special fixings are available.
Cannot be done before fixing any problems with penetrating or rising damp.

Assurances

I was unsure at first about the idea of free insulation, a new heating system & solar panels. I mean, it does sound a bit far fetched. But to my surprise, it's real. Absolutely delighted tbf.
