Cavity wall insulation
With cavity wall insulation, the cavity (air layer between the inner and outer wall) is filled. This insulation method prevents heat loss in your home, resulting in greater comfort and a lower energy bill.
With cavity wall insulation, your house retains heat better in winter and remains cooler in summer, so you benefit from the insulation all year round. In addition, you contribute to a better environment with reduced CO2 emissions.
What are the advantages of cavity wall insulation?
- Savings on the energy bill
- Increase in your home value
- Improvement of the living environment
Is cavity wall insulation suitable for our home?
Our house was built before 1920:
Houses built before 1920 do not have a cavity wall from construction. It is therefore not possible to insulate the cavity wall. You can consider insulating in a different way. This can be done both on the inside and outside of your home. For this it is necessary to engage a contractor. Deverduurzamingshop.nl works with various contractors, please feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities.
Our house was built between 1920 and 1975:
Your house is suitable for applying cavity wall insulation! Buildings that fall within this year of construction class often have no insulation in the cavity at all or have minimal insulation in the cavity. So there is a lot to gain!
Our house was built between 1976 and 1991:
Insulation was already taking place during this period, but the materials were not always of high quality. Even with houses from this year of construction, a lot of profit can be achieved by insulating the cavity wall.
Our house was built after 1991:
Your house is already insulated with good insulation material, it is not cost-effective to insulate further. In addition, it is often not technically possible to apply additional insulation.
How does cavity wall insulation work?
Prior to post-insulation, an inspection of the cavity wall takes place to see whether the cavity wall is suitable for insulation. Any contamination in the cavity is also determined. Based on this data, it is determined whether cavity wall insulation is attractive.
The cavity wall insulation is applied by drilling holes in the joints, where the insulation material is then blown in. After completing the work, the holes are neatly closed again in the correct color. The goal is to ultimately leave minimal traces so that all you know is that there is insulation but you can no longer see it.
Insulating your home only takes 1 day in most cases!
