Insulation & Cavity Walls

Whilst there has been a massive growth in the fitting of cavity wall insulation in UK homes over the last 10 or so years, there are millions of properties that are built with solid walls or cavities that are too narrow to effectively fill with insulation.

 

External Wall Insulation (EWI), originally developed in Europe, is now becoming very popular in the UK as it helps reduce heating bills, makes the property warmer, prevents condensation and can dramatically improve the exterior look of the building.

 

Conversely there is on-going scrutiny, an increasing body of evidence and a large amount of negative press concerning the suitability of installing cavity wall insulation in exterior walls that are subject to wind driven rain and hence the potential for penetrating damp. Indeed there are many homeowners who are saying that prior to the installation of the cavity wall insulation material they never experienced internal damp but now are.

 

Homeshield can fit a complete EWI system to your home and remove cavity wall insulation where required.
