If your home was built before the 1920s, its external walls are probably solid walls rather than cavity walls.
However solid walls can still be insulated. It’s a different process, and normally a more expensive one. However, it can lead to higher savings than with cavity wall insulation.
Internal wall insulation is done by fitting rigid insulation boards to the wall, or by building a stud wall filled in with insulation material such as mineral wool fibre.
Due to the thickness of the insulation, it will slightly reduce the floor area of the room(s) in which it is applied – around 100mm, and we may need to temporarily remove things like door frames.
It can also make it more complicated (though not impossible) to hang heavy items such as large picture frames.
On average, households with solid wall insulation make savings between £150 and £300 a year, depending on size of the property, which will only increase as energy bills go up.
Reducing heat loss within your home by installing insulation within its internal property walls – also known as dry lining – is an effective way to reduce heat loss.
We firstly fit insulating material to your walls followed by a vapour barrier, protecting against air penetration. Nearly all property types are suitable for this type of insulation and installation (due to the speed of installation) is fairly straightforward and hassle-free.
