Solid Wall Insulation
Overview & Benefits
Solid wall insulation is a key service under the ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation) grant scheme, designed to improve the energy efficiency of homes with solid walls. Unlike cavity walls, solid walls lack an air gap and therefore require different insulation methods to effectively reduce heat loss.
By applying solid wall insulation, you can enhance the thermal performance of your home, save on energy costs, and create a more comfortable living environment.
Effective Heat Retention
Solid wall insulation prevents heat from escaping through your walls, which is crucial for maintaining a stable indoor temperature. This leads to a warmer home and reduces the need for constant heating.
Lower Energy Bills
By improving your home’s insulation, you can significantly cut down on energy usage and lower your heating bills. Solid wall insulation can help reduce your overall energy costs by ensuring that your heating system operates more efficiently.
Enhanced Comfort
Insulating your solid walls helps to eliminate cold spots and drafts, resulting in a more comfortable living space. A well-insulated home maintains a consistent temperature throughout the year.
Environmental Impact
Solid wall insulation contributes to reducing your carbon footprint by decreasing the amount of energy needed to heat your home. This supports environmental sustainability and reduces your overall impact on the environment.
Increased Property Value
Homes with effective solid wall insulation are more attractive to buyers due to their improved energy efficiency. This can potentially increase the market value of your property.

Types of Solid Wall Insulation
External Wall Insulation (EWI)
External wall insulation involves applying insulation material to the outside of your walls, which is then covered with a protective render or cladding. This method helps to keep heat within the home and also improves the appearance of your property.
Materials Used:
Polystyrene or polyurethane boards,
Mineral wool,
Render systems
Process:
Survey and Assessment:
Our team will conduct a thorough survey to assess your property and recommend the most suitable insulation system.
Preparation:
The external walls are prepared, and any necessary repairs are made.
Installation:
Insulation boards are fitted and covered with render or cladding.
Finishing:
The final layer is applied, providing both insulation and a weather-resistant finish.
Internal Wall Insulation (IWI)
Internal wall insulation is applied to the inside of your walls, typically using insulation boards or dry lining systems. This method is ideal for homes where external work is not feasible or preferred.
Materials Used:
Insulation boards (e.g., PIR or EPS),
Plasterboard with integrated insulation,
Mineral wool
Process:
Survey and Assessment:
We evaluate the internal walls and determine the best insulation solution.
Preparation:
The interior walls are prepared, and existing surfaces are assessed.
Installation:
Insulation boards or plasterboard with integrated insulation are fitted to the walls.
Finishing:
The installation is completed with finishing touches, such as plastering or painting.
