Tarbert Cavity Wall Insulation

Make your Tarbert home easier to heat

Cavity wall insulation significantly reduces heat loss in homes by filling the gap between the inner and outer walls with a protective, insulating material.

This barrier not only retains warmth but also helps to eliminate the draughts commonly felt around windows and external walls, creating a more sealed and consistent indoor environment.

For homeowners in Tarbert, Premier Insulations is an SEAI-registered installer that provides this essential service to the local area and its surrounding communities.

This upgrade ultimately fosters a more comfortable living space while delivering tangible savings on your energy expenditures.

Is your home in Tarbert suitable?

Inspecting a Tarbert property for cavity wall insulation suitability involves several critical checks. A borescope inspection is first used to determine the cavity width, ensuring it meets the minimum requirement, and to assess the condition of the inner leaf. The surveyor must also check for any moisture penetration or debris within the cavity that could compromise the insulation's performance. Furthermore, an assessment of existing wiring and the property's exposure to wind-driven rain is essential to confirm the installation will be both safe and durable for the long term.

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 cavity walls.
