Cavity Wall Insulation and Heat Insulation Technologies

Most homeowners are preoccupied of maintaining a warm and comfortable home during winter. Less energy in order to warm the home is needed if it is well insulated to keep the cold out and keep the heat in.

Insulating your home will save you money and you will earn green points by protecting the environment.

Insulation is useful to all household types and can be installed in the wall, floor joist and roof. It is important that insertion must be undertaken correctly to achieve energy efficiency savings. Lots of heat insulation technologies breakthrough had emerged as an alternative to the traditional fireplaces.

These heat insulations such as the German Wärmedämmung technologies are also applicable in cavity wall insulation. It is applied by injecting into the cavity of the external wall between the inner and outer leaves of the brickwork. Varieties of insulation materials are available and an installer will do it.

The insulation obstructs the heat loss through the walls and reduces the condensation inside the house. External walls of houses in temperate regions are constructed with cavity wall insulation.

Your home will be less energy efficient if the gap is not filled with insulation materials, thus your house will be much prone to indoor condensations.

Injecting a foam insulation or inserting mineral fiber into the cavity are the methods of cavity wall insulation (Einblasdämmung). The silica foam is an amazing heat insulation technology that was developed by NASA. It is appropriate to transparent surfaces to prevent heat loss through the glass such as in skylights and solariums.

This new heat insulation technology is made up of 99 percent air and a very potent insulator. Another is the spray-in foam that is suited to whichever type of wall. This kind of heat insulation technology can fill in tiny gaps and coat any surface.

Spray foam insulation when sprayed in the cavity wall becomes a barrier and protects the surface. It can cover all the holes and cracks in the wall. One more way of applying cavity wall insulation is through the hemp and flax fiber.

The moisture trapped in the walls easily evaporates once the hemp is injected into the wall. It is as well all natural because of its characteristics as fire retardant and pest resistant.

Cavity wall insulation is not only preferable for houses but also for buildings. This can be done during the construction or a special process is applied for existing buildings. The insulating material is injected into the holes drilled in the walls.

To sum it up, choosing the right heat insulation technology should consider three factors; save money, stay warmer and save energy. Do some research on how insulation of cavity wall can develop your home conditions and living standards. To maximize the efficiency, insulation should be inserted correctly in the cavity wall.
