Gowran Cavity Wall Insulation
Warmer walls, lower bills, SEAI-supported upgrades in Gowran
Make your Gowran home easier to heat
Cavity wall insulation significantly reduces heat loss in Gowran homes by filling the gap between external and internal walls with a protective material, creating a highly effective thermal barrier that retains warmth.
This continuous layer of insulation also minimises cold spots and seals gaps, resulting in noticeably fewer draughts and a more consistent indoor temperature throughout the property.
For homeowners in Gowran and the surrounding areas, Premier Insulations is an SEAI-registered installer, ensuring the work is completed to the highest standard and may qualify for grant support.
This upgrade provides a lasting sense of calm comfort while concurrently delivering lower energy bills.
Is your home in Gowran suitable?
Inspecting Gowran homes for cavity wall insulation suitability involves a thorough assessment of several key factors. A borescope inspection is first used to confirm the cavity width is uniform and meets the minimum requirement, while also checking for any debris that could cause bridging. We then meticulously assess internal and external moisture levels to ensure no pre-existing damp issues are present and verify that no obsolete wiring is present within the cavity space. Finally, the property's exposure to wind-driven rain is evaluated, as this determines the need for a water-resistant insulation material to guarantee long-term performance and protection.
The two primary cavity wall insulation systems are blown mineral fibre and injected foam. Blown mineral fibre, such as glass or rock wool, is a non-combustible material suitable for most properties, effectively filling the cavity to reduce heat loss. Alternatively, insulating foam is injected as a liquid that expands to create a seamless thermal barrier, offering excellent resistance to air leakage in homes with consistently sized and clear cavity walls.
