According to government data, more than 30% of heat escapes through the walls of uninsulated properties. To mitigate heat loss in your own home, insulating the external walls can be highly effective and lead to significant energy savings. Insulating the cavity is generally the most cost-effective solution. By opting for the bonded bead system, such as our preferred product, Warmfill Silver Bead, which is approved by NSAI, you can enhance the thermal properties of your home and reduce energy costs, particularly during the winter season. At FC Insulation, we utilize this method by drilling small holes (22mm) into the external wall and injecting silver beads and adhesive into the cavity under pressure, ensuring complete cavity filling every time. Cavity wall insulation can also enhance your house's Building Energy Rating (B.E.R.) and its market value.
Advantages of Blown Bead Cavity Wall Insulation
Enhanced Thermal Efficiency: Blown bead cavity wall insulation significantly improves the thermal efficiency of your property, reducing heat loss and enhancing overall comfort.
Energy Savings: By effectively insulating the cavity walls with blown bead insulation, you can experience noticeable reductions in energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills and long-term cost savings.
Increased Comfort: Improved insulation helps maintain a more consistent and comfortable indoor temperature throughout the year, minimizing cold spots and drafts.
Noise Reduction: Blown bead insulation can also act as an effective sound barrier, reducing external noise pollution and enhancing the tranquility of your living spaces.
Environmentally Friendly: Blown bead cavity wall insulation contributes to reducing carbon emissions by decreasing energy usage, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
Quick and Efficient Installation: The blown bead method allows for swift and efficient installation, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
Enhanced Property Value: Installing blown bead cavity wall insulation can increase the value of your property by improving its energy efficiency and overall desirability in the housing market.
Reduced Condensation Risk: Properly insulated cavity walls help prevent condensation issues, reducing the potential for mold and dampness, and promoting a healthier indoor environment.
Long-lasting Performance: Blown bead insulation materials are designed to be durable and provide long-lasting performance, ensuring the benefits of insulation are enjoyed for many years.
Government Grants: In many cases, government grants and incentives are available to support the installation of blown bead cavity wall insulation, further enhancing its affordability and attractiveness.
Total Flow-ability
A swirling motion is generated, propelling the beads at a high velocity, resembling a liquid, to uniformly occupy every crevice of the cavity. They effectively infiltrate all gaps and irregularities within the cavity, including areas surrounding services, joists, conduits, doors, windows, and internal structures, ensuring comprehensive insulation without any cold spots within minutes. Blown beads deliver optimum thermal insulation due to their remarkable composition. Comprising 98% air captured within the polystyrene, these beads exhibit superior lambda values compared to any other insulation material. This exceptional attribute enables easy compliance or even surpassing of building regulations.
Upon filling each cavity, the beads promptly settle and bond together, creating a virtually solid insulation layer. This bonded formation remains stable while allowing the cavity to breathe as intended. Once settled, the beads are no longer susceptible to gravitational effects, ensuring long-term integrity. Consequently, ongoing settlement issues, which can be encountered with other types of cavity insulation, are effectively eliminated.
