Cavity Wall Insulation Services

The most cost-effective way to warm your home

Cavity Wall Insulation is a quick, hassle-free way of insulating your home and reducing your energy bills. But is it right for you and your home? Find answers to your questions about an excellent method to save money and generate free energy.

All our cavity wall installers are trained in and use energystore superbead. Energystore are the largest manufacturer of cavity wall bead in the UK, using products and techniques honed over more than 40 years of work. Their products and techniques are approved by multiple accreditation bodies.

Why we choose superbead

Superbead has a low thermal conductivity, making it one of the best performing blown insulation products on the market.
Superbead is a closed-cell technology which means it doesn’t absorb moisture enabling it to be installed into cavities as narrow as 40mm.
Superbead is installed at 8 bar pressure with 40% less injection holes than other products, allowing trained installers to complete their work more quickly.
Superbead is one of the most cost-effective solutions available, delivering cost savings of up to 50% versus alternatives.
All materials required for the install are brought to site in specially designed vehicles. The exact amount of material required is injected into the cavity meaning no material goes to landfill.

How much money can i save?

The insulation can dramatically improve your home’s heat retention and create a warmer, more efficient home. Up to 45% of a property’s heat can escape through cavity walls, so a significant amount of your money is going to waste. The average property will save £150 a year with cavity wall insulation, although obviously this can be variable depending on a number of factors.

What is a cavity wall?

Cavity walls are two walls with a gap in between, called the cavity. The outer wall is often made of brick while the inner wall brick or concrete. Houses built after the 1920s tend to have cavity walls, making them good candidates for cavity wall insulation.

How does it work?

Cavity wall insulation works by filling the cavity space with material that reduces heat loss by stopping the air moving around inside the cavity (air is still the actual insulator). This can substantially reduce heating costs.

What materials are used?

There are several different insulating materials that can be used, but at DK Hughes we favour super-bead polystyrene beads – they’re waterproof, fast to install, and come with a 25-year guarantee.
