If your home was built from 1920 onwards, the chances are that its external walls are made of two layers with a small gap or `cavity' between them. This means they are `cavity walls'.
Insulating your cavity walls means filling that gap -
Why insulate your cavity walls?
Cavity wall insulation is an effective way to save energy and money at home. A well
insulated house keeps warmth exactly where you need it -
So, insulating your cavity walls will help you to heat your home more efficiently. Using less energy reduces carbon dioxide emissions (CO2): one of the biggest causes of climate change. You will also save money on your bills too.
Cavity wall insulation can also help to reduce condensation inside the house if it is a problem on external walls.
Cavity wall insulation is so cost effective that it will pay for itself over and
over again. The better insulated your home, the less energy you need to keep it warm
-
By insulating your cavity walls you could cut your heating costs and, by saving energy, your household will produce less CO2. So, insulating your cavity walls is a great way to help fight climate change.
Could cavity wall insulation work for your home?
Generally speaking, your home will be suitable for cavity wall insulation if:
* its external walls are unfilled cavity walls.
* the masonry/brick work of your property is in good condition.
* your cavity is at least 50mm wide

Did you know that around a third of all the heat lost in an un-insulated home is
through the walls? Insulating cavity walls reduces heat loss and can save you around
£110 a year on your fuel bills.
