Cavity wall insulation, new build upgrade, Hedge End
ThermaBead EPS bead insulation installed in a 2005 detached property that had never been insulated. Post-installation thermal imaging confirmed full cavity coverage with no cold bridges. Heating bills reduced by around 30%.
- ThermaBead EPS bonded bead system
- Post-installation thermal imaging survey
- Full cavity coverage confirmed
- Heating bills reduced by around 30%
- Kiwa and IAA certified system
The problem
Many homes built in the early 2000s have an empty cavity — they were built with the cavity left clear, on the assumption the owner would insulate later. This one had been empty since 2005. An empty cavity loses heat through convection as well as conduction, making it less efficient than a filled one even before the insulation value is considered.
What we did
We installed ThermaBead EPS bonded bead insulation across all elevations. ThermaBead bonds in place once installed, so it cannot settle or shift over time. After installation we carried out a thermal imaging survey to confirm full coverage with no cold bridges or gaps.
The result
The thermal imaging confirmed full cavity coverage. The customer reported a reduction in heating bills of around 30% in the first winter after installation.
Not sure if your cavity has ever been insulated?
We carry out a free borescope survey and can tell you within minutes whether your cavity is empty, full, or has failed insulation. Thermal imaging available after installation.
