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.
