In looking for ways to create a warmer, more comfortable, and energy-efficient home, one of the most impactful upgrades you can make is installing cavity wall insulation. For homeowners across the UK, this is not just an investment in a more comfortable living space but a smart financial and environmental decision. At Cozy Home Solutions, we have over 20 years of experience in helping our customers achieve this with our advanced SupaBead insulation system.

What is Cavity Wall Insulation and Why is it Important?

Most houses built in the UK after the 1920s have cavity walls, which consist of two layers of brick with a narrow gap (the cavity) in between. While this design was originally intended to prevent moisture from entering the property, it also acts as a place for heat to escape. According to the Energy Savings Trust, an uninsulated home can lose up to one-third of its heat through its walls.

Cavity wall insulation works by filling this gap, creating a thermal barrier that traps warmth inside your home. The benefits are immediate and long-lasting:

High Energy Savings: By preventing heat from escaping, your heating system won’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. This may lead to reductions in your annual energy bills.

Increased Comfort: A properly insulated home maintains a more consistent and even temperature, making your living spaces feel warmer and more comfortable throughout the year, and even cooler in the summer.

Reduced Carbon Footprint: Lower energy consumption means a smaller carbon footprint. By making your home more energy-efficient, you are contributing to a more sustainable future.

Increased Property Value: A home with a higher Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating is more attractive to potential buyers. Cavity wall insulation is a key factor in improving this rating, making your property potentially more valuable and easier to sell.

Acoustic Insulation: The material injected into the cavity also acts as a sound barrier, helping to reduce noise from outside and creating a more peaceful indoor environment.

The SupaBead System for Cavity Wall Insulation 

At Cozy Home Solutions, we pride ourselves on using only the highest quality, most effective materials. The system we use is SupaBead, a high-performance, graphite-based, injected expanded polystyrene (EPS) bead insulation. This system stands out from other materials for several reasons:

Durability and Longevity: Once installed, SupaBead is rot-proof, water-resistant, and incredibly durable. It is designed to have a lifespan equivalent to that of the cavity wall itself, providing you with a lifetime of savings and comfort.

Superior Thermal Performance: SupaBead has a thermal conductivity of 0.033 W/mK, which means it can trap heat. This wall insulation ensures maximum energy efficiency and further comfort for your home.

Moisture-Resistant Technology: SupaBead uses closed-cell EPS technology, which means it does not absorb moisture. This is a feature that prevents issues like dampness and mould growth, ensuring the insulation remains effective and the integrity of your walls is protected for the long term.

Clean and Efficient Installation: The SupaBead system is designed for a simple installation. Our trained professionals inject the beads and a specially designed adhesive into the cavity through a series of small, discreet holes drilled into the external walls. The beads bond together, forming a mass that fills the entire cavity without creating a mess or waste.

The Installation Process with Cozy Home Solutions

Our professional wall insulation process is designed to be as straightforward as possible:

1. Free Home Survey: A qualified Cozy Home Solutions expert will visit your property to assess its suitability for cavity wall insulation, checking for a minimum cavity width of 40mm, the condition of the brickwork, and any existing issues.
2. Preparation: We prepare the area by drilling a series of small, evenly spaced holes (approximately 22mm in diameter) into the mortar joints of your external walls.
3. Injection: Using specialised equipment, we inject the SupaBead and a bonding material into the cavity. The lightweight beads flow effortlessly, filling every void and corner to ensure an even fill.
4. Completion: Once the injection is complete, our team will seal the drilled holes with mortar that is carefully matched to your existing brickwork, leaving no visible signs of the work. The entire process for an average three-bedroom house can often be completed in a few hours.
