Here at ECO Home UK, we’re passionate about helping homeowners create energy-efficient and comfortable living spaces. One of the most impactful ways to achieve this is with cavity wall insulation. But with different insulation materials available, you might be wondering which one is right for your home. Today, we’re putting the spotlight on bead cavity wall insulation and why it could be the perfect solution for you.
What is Bead Cavity Wall Insulation?
Bead cavity wall insulation uses tiny, free-flowing beads made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) – a lightweight and inert plastic. These beads are blown into the cavity – the gap between your inner and outer walls – through small holes drilled in the mortar joints. The beads fill all the nooks and crannies, creating a consistent layer of insulation that minimises heat loss.
Why Choose Bead Cavity Wall Insulation?
There are several compelling reasons to choose bead cavity wall insulation for your home:
Superior Insulation: EPS beads offer excellent thermal performance, trapping heat in your home during winter and keeping it cool in summer. This can translate to significant savings on your energy bills. Some studies suggest bead cavity wall insulation can be up to 20% more efficient than traditional insulation methods!
Quick and Easy Installation: Installing bead cavity wall insulation is a fast and minimally disruptive process. The small drill holes required are nearly invisible once patched, and the entire process can often be completed in a single day.
Fills all Gaps: Unlike some insulation materials, EPS beads can effortlessly fill even the most awkward gaps and uneven spaces within the cavity, ensuring there are no cold spots for optimal thermal performance.
Moisture Resistant: Bead cavity wall insulation is water-resistant, which helps prevent damp and mould growth within the cavity.
Long-lasting Performance: EPS beads are highly durable and retain their insulating properties for decades.
Is Bead Cavity Wall Insulation Right for You?
Bead cavity wall insulation is a great option for most homes with traditional cavity walls. However, it’s not suitable for all situations, say, if you have solid walls. Our team of experts at ECO Home UK can assess your property and advise you on the best insulation solution for your needs.
