How Much Does Cavity Insulation Cost?

Cavity wall insulation can be quite a costly procedure as you not only have to buy thermal insulation but you also have to pay an installation cost. The overall cost depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the type of insulation used, and the complexity of the installation process.

How Long Does It Take to Install Cavity Insulation?

The installation process typically takes between 2 to 4 hours for an average-sized home. Larger properties or those with complex wall structures may take longer.

Can I Install Cavity Insulation Myself?

Installing cavity wall insulation is not recommended as a DIY project. It requires specialised equipment and expertise to ensure the insulation is installed correctly and safely. It’s best to hire a professional installer who is experienced in handling cavity wall insulation.

Is Your Home Suitable for Cavity Insulation?

Not all homes are suitable for cavity wall insulation. It's essential to determine if your property meets the necessary criteria. Generally, cavity wall insulation is suitable for: Homes with unfilled cavity walls.Homes with easily accessible walls where insulation can be installed.Properties with brick or stone walls that have cavities.

Is Cavity Wall Insulation Fire Resistant?

The fire resistance of insulation materials is measured on the Euroclass scale. This scale was created to regulate the classification of insulation materials in Europe. The scale starts at A1 (non-combustible) and ends at F (combustible).Different types of cavity wall insulation have different Euroclass ratings.● Celotex CW4000 - rated E, partially combustible● EcoTherm Eco-Cavity - rated F, combustible● Kingspan KoolTherm K108 - rated F, combustible● Knauf DriTherm - rated A1, non-combustibleAn F rating on the Euroclass scale does not mean that you cannot use these products. All these slabs and boards still provide premium protection against heat transmission. If you are concerned about the fire rating of these products, you can simply use a build-up of materials that have better heat protection.For optimal fire protection, we recommend using a cavity barrier in concealed cavities. Cavity barriers block the passage of fire between cavities, containing the spread of fire to a confined area.

What Are the Different Methods of Filling Cavity Walls?

Filling cavity walls involves inserting insulating material into the space between the outer and inner walls of a building. This can be done through various methods such as: Blown-in Insulation: Small holes are drilled into the exterior wall, and insulating material is blown into the cavity using specialised equipment.Foam Insulation: Expanding foam is injected into the wall cavity, which then hardens to form an effective insulating barrier.
