Workwork ltd offers various kind of insulation such as cavity, loft and solid wall insulation in UK.

1. Cavity wall insulation prevents heat loss
It is vital that we look for environmental friendly solutions to reduce the co2 emissions to make
our planet sustainable. There are many energy-saving home improvements, which help to reduce
energy bills as well as co2 emissions. Insulating a property can be the most cost-effective way to
reduce your energy bills. There are various kinds of insulation which you can opt for depending
on your property structure such as cavity wall, solid wall, loft, roof and floor insulation.
Properties built after 1930s usually have cavity walls and can be insulated. Cavity wall is a wall
which is made up of two layers of bricks. As there is a empty gap between the wall, the air
surpasses the limit, due to convection heat transfers from warmer to colder rather than blocking
it. If this gap is filled by insulation material like mineral wool, it will prevent heat loss will make
house warmer for long time. The insulation material used in the cavity wall can be fibre glass,
rock wool or in some case polyester beads. All these insulation materials work almost same but
specific insulation material could be used because of building structure.
There are mainly two kinds of walls present in household, cavity and solid wall. It is important to
identify before insulation takes place. Following is the ways to distinguish between both the
walls:
 If your property is built after 1920s, the chances of cavity wall are there.
 If the brick pattern of the wall is uniform, then most probably it is a cavity wall.
 You can identify with the thickness of the wall, whether it is cavity or solid.
Once you have concluded that your house has a cavity wall, it is important to know if it is
already insulated. Cavity wall insulation is good for lifetime, and you can check the wall with the
help of boroscope.

2. A professional cavity wall insulation company will conduct a survey before an installation takes
place. An install company should be able to complete the work within 5-6 hours. At the day of
insulation, installers will drill small holes from outside the wall leaving a gap of 1x1m. With the
help of a blower, the insulation material is injected into the walls which are further checked with
if the material is evenly spread or not. Though most of the walls will be insulated outside of the
house, but in some cases internal drilling is required. Once the work is completed afterwards the
holes are sealed and later matched as per actual finish.
Once your walls are insulated, you will get the following benefits:
 It will help to reduce heat loss by 35%.
 Your energy bills will start reducing, and you can save up to £250 each year.
 Property becomes more energy-efficient and adds extra value for it.
 Reduction of heat loss results to maintain a warm environment in a house which makes
your home more comfortable place to live in.
 You will see a reduction of co2 emission from your property as you will be burning less
carbon.
 You will be contributing towards the environment by reducing the carbon footprint.
So it is vital that you get your cavity walls insulated as there are many grants, which are
available, which can cover the whole cost of the insulation, or you can get it at highly subsidized
price.
