Partial Fill Insulation

By

 


Properties that are built after the 1920’s are more likely to be constructed with two layers of brick. This leaves a space where insulating material can be injected or added. The transfer of heat through your walls is slowed by partial fill insulation so your heating remains inside your property. Effectively allowing you to save a significant amount annually. Therefore, the insulation essentially pays itself off over the years.

Partial fill is the standard choice for most new developments. It involves leaving a 25mm or 50mm gap between the outer face of the insulation and the external leaf. This has the advantage of reducing the chance of any moisture that does penetrate the outer leaf bridging through to the inner structure.

 

How to Install Partial Fill Insulation

To insulate using Partial-Fill, the professional drills small holes on the outside wall of your home. The installer then blows insulation into the cavity using special equipment. Once all the insulation is in, the installer fills the holes in the brickwork. The Insulation material is usually either mineral wool or polystyrene beads, but polyurethane foam may sometimes be used instead.


Global Warming

Getting a Partial Fill Insulation would reduce your carbon footprint and help make your home more energy efficient. You would be generating less carbon emissions along the way. As well as helping to save the planet you'll be saving yourself a hefty sum as experts say you should be able to make back the installation cost in five years or less due to the yearly energy bill savings you will make.


Benefits

Partial fill cavity features thermal insulation secured to the inner steel or timber framing system, leaving a cavity of air between the insulation and the outer part of the masonry. The cavity between the insulation and the outer leaf performs as a barrier to external moisture, preventing it from entering the inner wall. In addition to thermal properties, it has properties to reduce the spread of a fire.

Soundproofing Flooring

By
  Stopping sound from entering your property is not always easy to diagnose. Sound travels quickly and manages to make its way into the structure quite easily. It is after all a form of energy, and quite simply, an invisible invader which is difficult to predict and control. However, with soundproofing materials and methods that are most suitable for your particular case, you should be able to significantly reduce sound transmission, and make your home far more peaceful and quieter than before.   What Does Soundproofing Mean? Soundproofing is interjecting sound waves before they reach the location you plan to soundproof. Soundproofing is done by setting up absorbing material or reducing it. Sounds travel through vibrations to stop them in their tracks, you have to put the material in front of it to absorb or break the vibration.   The two common types of noise are: Airborne sound  – such as sound from electronics, cookers, cars, and general speech, these...
