How Does Cavity Wall Insulation Work?

If you’re looking for ways to save money, you’re probably researching insulation. Does your home have cavity walls and should they be insulated?

Let’s start with what cavity walls are: two walls/materials separated by a hollow space (cavity). They frequently consist of brick or concrete block. Your home may need cavity wall insulation if:

  • Its external walls are unfilled cavity walls
  • Your cavity is at least 50 millimeters wide
  • It is more than a decade old (most newer houses will have insulation already)

But it’s always recommended to ask a professional! Someone on the OJ Insulation team can inspect your walls and determine the right solution for your San Diego or Los Angeles area home insulation needs.

What Is Cavity Wall Insulation?

Insulation can be installed to help reduce heat loss through a cavity wall by filling the empty space with material that helps stop heat transfer. This is referred to as cavity wall insulation. Cavity walls (in homes and commercial buildings) are often insulated when they are first built—but retrofit installation projects can be completed as well.

Different materials can be used to insulate cavity and external walls, but fiberglass is often used.
