The gap between the 'leaves' or walls of the building which was originally created to allow any rainwater that penetrates through the outside wall, to drain down the inside of the wall to below the damp proof course (dpc).
The cavity wall insulation works by trapping air in and around the material injected into the cavity and can reduce the heat lost from your home by 35%.
At Warmerhome we provide the latest cavity wall insulation solutions including InstaBead and InstaFibre. All work is carried out by our fully skilled engineers and comes complete with a 25 year CIGA guarantee.
Instafibre is a blown mineral wool which, once installed for the cavity wall insulation, forms an insulative barrier which retains the heat inside your home. It works by storing the heat in the inner wall and radiating it back into the home with the effect that you can turn down your heating without losing out on comfort. It also maintains a constant temperature throughout the home. One of the benefits of this is to help eliminate condensation on walls. Draughts are also reduced as InstaFibre seals off the gap around badly fitted doors and window frames.
To ensure a total fill of the cavity, the material is blown through a predetermined drilling pattern of small holes which are made good with matching mortar after installation.
InstaBead has been designed to meet the ever-increasing demands of an energy conscious community and to provide increased comfort levels in the home, while saving money on fuel bills.
InstaBead is a purpose-made expanded polystyrene for cavity wall insulation. When installed in the cavity wall via hose and injection gun, InstaBead forms an insulative barrier once coated with an adhesive.The adhesive bonds the beads together to ensure long term stability while trapping air between them to achieve maximum thermal performance.
It is totally reliable and, once installed, it remains effective for the lifetime of the property without the need for any maintenance. The fact that this product is used by homeowners, house builders, local authorities, Government grant schemes and the construction industry is a testimony to their proven quality and effectiveness.
