Does your home suffer with black spot mould and condensation?
Heat loss through solid walls
The above thermal image was taken from a case study in Leamington Spa on a 3 bed Victorian semi detached property that we insulated. The wall on the left (blue) is not insulated & is extracting between 30 - 35% of the rooms heat. The wall on the right (red) has been insulated with internal wall insulation & now is extremely effective in keeping out the cold & retaining heat.
According to the energy saving trust one third of your homes heat is lost through external walls. Many homes built before the 1940s were built using solid brick construction which means there is no cavity between the bricks,instead the bricks are tied together to form one solid wall. These buildings are strong and timeless but unfortunately they have very poor insulation value and government is tackling this issue currently by installing high performance solid wall insulation nationwide in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions. More people today are finding ways to improve EPC ratings on their properties.
High heating bills
People living in these dwellings use excessive amounts of heating during cold winter months in an attempt to warm their homes. due to the poor insulation value of these properties a large portion of heat generated is literally sucked through the walls and so heating is usually turned up high & left on for extended periods of time creating expensive energy bills.
People are surprised to discover that 35% of heat is lost through solid external walls, even when double glazing, loft insulation & sufficient floor insulation is installed, Solid walls are often over looked but they play a big part in heat loss.

Spray cork insulation
Spray cork insulation is a market leading T.I.W.I product (thin internal wall insulation) at only 8mm in thickness the cork insulation can reduce heat loss by 30% & also offers the same or similar benefits as other much thicker products such as condensation prevention & raising thermal resistance on solid walls. This product is very versatile & can be used on a multitude of applications including external renders & roof systems. This option is aimed at customers who are looking to improve thermal performance in their home but do not wish to sacrifice floor space or deal with the sometimes long winded disruption & costs of having the thicker insulation products installed. The installation process is much faster & can often be a more cost effective option.
