Cavity Wall Insulation
What is Cavity Wall Insulation?
Cavity wall insulation is used to reduce heat loss through a cavity wall by filling the air space with material that inhibits heat transfer. This immobilises the air within the cavity (air is still the actual insulator), preventing convection, and can substantially reduce space heating costs. Cavity Wall Insulation can save you up to 30% on your bills.
Benefits:
- BBA Approved
- Prevents condensation
- Average saving of up to 30% on bills
- Reduced heat loss in winter and reduced overheating in summer
How we do it
Rockwarm arrange for the insulation of your property to be carried out by their teams of fully trained specialists, approved by certification of both the BBA (British Board of Agreement) and by KNAUF Approved Installers. (NB – we do not sub-contract work)
Holes are drilled into the mortar line of the outer brickwork pattern, approximately 1.4 metres apart.
With semi-detached properties a cavity brush will be placed in the cavity flush to the adjacent property to prevent any spillage of material into the neighbours cavity. The loose wool is then blown into the cavity until it is tightly packed and no gaps are left.
A pressure sensor on the blowing machine cuts off the flow of material when it has reached the correct density in the cavity.
The holes are then re-filled with matching mortar, and the site is thoroughly cleaned after the installation is complete.
