Cavity wall insulation is a type of insulation that is used to fill the cavity between the inner and outer walls of a building. At Smart Energy Homes we use the Climabead system it consists of small beads of polystyrene that are mixed with a special adhesive and then pumped into the cavity using specialised equipment.
The insulation material is injected into the cavity through small holes drilled into the outer wall of the building, typically at regular intervals of around 1 meter. Once the insulation material is injected, the holes are filled, and the wall is restored to its original appearance.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION TAKES A DAY
Moisture
ClimaBead insulation resists water absorption, helping to prevent dampness and mould growth within the walls. This protects the structural integrity of the building and maintains a healthier indoor environment.
Clean
The ClimaBead system is designed for a fast and minimally invasive installation process. The beads can be injected into the cavity with minimal disruption to the property’s exterior or interior.
Thermal
Our Cavity Wall Insulation offers high thermal efficiency, helping to significantly reduce heat loss through your walls. This leads to lower energy consumption and cost savings on heating bills.
How do I know if my home is suitable for cavity wall insulation?
To determine if your home is suitable for cavity wall insulation, it’s important to consider a few key factors. Most homes built between the 1920s and 1990s with unfilled cavity walls are generally ideal candidates. However, a professional survey is essential to evaluate your home’s construction, cavity width, and any existing insulation. One of our qualified retrofit assessors will conduct a thorough inspection of your property before installation, ensuring suitability and addressing any questions you may have.
“Great work”
Our overall experience with the company and the work completed was great.
We had some issues with the lack of explanations about how the work would be completed from a third party, but this was resolved by the team who attended to carry out the work.
All the work was completed to a high standard, and especially Jordon and Joseph, who were very considerate and professional, a credit to the company.
