Cavity Wall Insulation
Cavity wall insulation fills the gap between a home’s inner and outer walls with materials like foam or mineral wool to reduce heat loss. Ideal for Ireland’s cool climate, it works by trapping warmth, minimizing draughts, and improving energy efficiency. Benefits include significantly lower energy bills, enhanced comfort, and reduced carbon emissions, aligning with Ireland’s sustainability goals. The process is quick and minimally disruptive, often completed in a day. Additionally, homeowners can access SEAI grants to make installation more affordable. With up to 35% of heat lost through walls, cavity wall insulation is a practical and eco-friendly upgrade for Irish homes.

More About Cavity Wall Insulation
What is Cavity Wall Insulation, How Does It Work, and Its Benefits in Ireland?
Cavity wall insulation is a method of improving the energy efficiency of a building by filling the gap (cavity) between the inner and outer walls with insulating material. Commonly used materials include polystyrene beads, foam, or mineral wool. This technique prevents heat from escaping through the walls, making it especially valuable in Ireland’s damp and cool climate.
How Does Cavity Wall Insulation Work?
Most homes built after the 1920s in Ireland have cavity walls designed to reduce water penetration. However, these cavities also allow heat to escape. Insulation works by:
Filling the Gap: The cavity is injected with insulating material, typically through small holes drilled into the outer wall.
Blocking Heat Loss: The insulating material reduces the flow of heat from inside to outside, trapping warmth during colder months.
Minimising Draughts: By sealing gaps in the walls, cavity insulation also reduces draughts, improving overall energy efficiency.
Benefits of Cavity Wall Insulation in Ireland
Lower Energy Bills: Up to 35% of heat loss occurs through walls. Insulating your cavity walls can significantly reduce heating costs, a crucial advantage in Ireland’s climate.
Increased Comfort: Insulation maintains a consistent indoor temperature, keeping homes warm in winter and cool in summer.
Reduced Carbon Emissions: By lowering energy consumption, cavity wall insulation supports Ireland’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
SEAI Grants: The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland offers grants to help homeowners afford cavity wall insulation.
Quick Installation: The process is fast and minimally disruptive, often completed within a day.
Cavity wall insulation is a cost-effective solution for Irish homes, delivering energy savings, enhanced comfort, and environmental benefits while meeting modern efficiency standards.
