CAVITY WALL INSULATION
Cavity Walls
Cavity walls are a type of construction where two parallel walls are built with a gap, or cavity, between them. This gap serves several important purposes:
- Insulation: The cavity acts as a layer of insulation, preventing heat from escaping the building in winter and keeping it cool in summer.
- Ventilation: The cavity allows for air circulation, helping to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth.
- Soundproofing: The cavity can help to reduce noise transmission between rooms.
Benefits of cavity walls include:
- Improved energy efficiency: The insulation in the cavity helps to reduce heat loss and gain, leading to lower energy bills.
- Increased comfort: A more comfortable indoor temperature can be achieved due to better insulation and reduced noise.
- Reduced maintenance: Cavity walls may require less maintenance than solid walls due to their design.
- Improved durability: The cavity can help protect the walls from moisture and other elements.
- Better soundproofing: The cavity can help to reduce noise transmission between rooms.
Overall, cavity walls offer several advantages in terms of energy efficiency, comfort, and durability.
Bonded Bead Insulation
Bonded bead insulation is a type of insulation used in cavity walls. It consists of tiny polystyrene beads that are mixed with a bonding agent and injected into the cavity between the two walls.
Benefits of bonded bead insulation include:
- Improved energy efficiency: By filling the cavity with insulation, heat loss and gain can be significantly reduced, leading to lower energy bills.
- Increased comfort: A more comfortable indoor temperature can be achieved due to better insulation.
- Reduced noise transmission: The insulation can help to reduce noise between rooms.
- Improved durability: The insulation can help protect the walls from moisture and other elements.
- Easy installation: Bonded bead insulation can be easily injected into the cavity without requiring extensive demolition or disruption.
Overall, bonded bead insulation is a popular and effective way to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of buildings with cavity walls.
