CAVITY WALL INSULATION   

The walls of a building consist of two layers. These two layers are separated by an air gap, known as a "cavity."

A "cavity" was originally included so the moisture could drain away when it travelled through the external brick from outside. But nowadays, modern insulation technology means this area can be insulated without compromising the purpose of the cavity.

How Does It Work?

By drilling small holes at intervals near the top and bottom of your internal wall (avoiding, where possible, any ornate features). Small insulation beading is injected into the cavity between the plasterboard layer and the stone wall. The beads are then bonded with glue which forms a rigid filling inside the cavity. When any further work is carried out on this exterior wall, no loose beads will fall out.

  1. An external wall.
  2. An internal wall (also known as a skin or leaf).

ROOF/LOFT INSULATION

Looking to reduce your energy bills? The simplest and most effective way, to quickly reduce your energy bills. Is by ensuring your property has a properly insulated roof area.

Did you know 25% of the heat within your home, is lost through the roof in an uninsulated home? Therefore insulating your loft, attic or flat roof. Is a very effective way to reduce this heat loss and further reduce your heating bills.

ROOM-IN-ROOF INSULATION

Installing Room-In-Roof insulation involves insulation boards, being fitted underneath the existing plasterboard walls.
These boards cover the entire sloped ceiling area to the floor. The room may lose up to 300mm of its width. However, the benefits of installing, will offset this small drawback.
The walls are then plastered and made ready for decorating. (If decorating after a Room-In-Roof install is a specific issue. Please discuss this with the team who will be happy to help).

4 Benefits Of Room-In-Roof Insulation:
  1. It keeps converted lofts warm and cosy, making them more comfortable and useable spaces.
  2. Prevents heat escaping through the roof to help maintain comfort throughout the property.
  3. Reduces energy bills.
  4. Increases the value and desirability of a home.

UNDERFLOOR INSULATION 

Insulating the ground floor is a great way to keep a property warm.  Eco Gen installs under floor insulation on suspended timber floors. This is done, by lifting the floorboards and laying mineral wool insulation. Which is supported by netting, between the joists.  

Insulating under the floorboards on the ground floor could save you approximately £110 a year in an average-sized property, or up to £180 if you live in a detached house.
