Solid walls have the added benefit of being insulated internally by applying rigid insulation boards to the existing walls, or by building a studded wall and then inserting insulation directly. There is a wide variety of insulation options available with the most common types of insulation being mineral and sheep’s wool.

​

Internal insulation on solid walls is generally a much cheaper option and a more cost-effective solution than installing external wall insulation, which has many added benefits as far as the cost of installation goes.

​

Additionally, you’ll also find internal wall insulation on solid walls can be installed one room at a time, making your wall insulation much more controllable and easier to manage.

​

In the UK alone, 28% of all home owners have a solid wall construction. Evaluating these statistics, this equates to more than 7 million homes. Most homes that were built before the mid-1930’s will certainly have solid walls, most of which have the further benefit of being insulated.

​

How Solid Wall Insulation works?

​

Solid wall insulation is a great way to store heat in your home. It achieves this by absorbing heat from both inside and outside of the property during the day. Acting like a heat collector, the warmth is stored throughout the walls of your home. On the flip side, external wall insulation will help counter-balance the absorption of heat during those ever so hot summer months.

​

The benefits of solid wall insulation include:

​

• The insulation acts as an extremely effective noise barrier

• It protects your home from heat loss

• You could increase your home’s value

• A cosy warm home during the winter

• Saving money and reducing energy costs
