Solid Wall Insulation

Reduce your gas bills and save up to £460 a year*

Approximately one third of heat from a home is lost through the walls. Insulating the walls of your house is the equivalent to wrapping it in a thermal blanket.

Heat always flows from a warm area to a cooler area. Insulation between or on the walls slows this transfer of heat from the warm air inside the property to the cooler outside air.

External wall insulation is an extremely effective way to improve the thermal performance of the home but is more extensive than cavity wall insulation.
