The benefits

Homes with solid walls can be insulated either externally or internally.While both perform with similar heat retention and savings, the cost of carrying out an external wall insulation is higher, and it also comes at the cost of losing the original external character of the building.

A lot of heat is lost through ‘solid walls’, so installing Solid Wall insulation could make a huge difference to your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. As well as keeping in the warmth, InstaGroup’s highly effective system could cut home heating bills by as much as £650 every year1 depending on the size of your property.

If your home was built before the 1920s it’s likely to be of solid wall construction and could benefit from adding efficient insulation. We can find out the best solution for your property with our no-obligation home assessment.

Improves your home, inside and out

Installing Solid Wall insulation improves a property inside and out. Your home becomes warmer and more welcoming, with the added advantage of increased kerb appeal from a fresh and attractive makeover of the outside walls.

Installation is professionally planned and takes place outside your property. Our Solid Wall insulation system is made up of robust rail frame and specialised insulation boards, and finished with an attractive weather-proof render. We offer a variety of render colours and finishes, so you can choose how to improve or add to the outside look and character of your property.

Installing Solid Wall insulation makes your home easier to keep warm in the winter, and keeps it pleasantly cooler in summer. You’ll find rooms are noticeably quieter too.

If your home is made of brick, and the bricks have an alternating long-short-long pattern like this, then the walls are likely to be solid. If you can see only the long edge of the bricks, like this, then they are almost certainly cavity walls.

If the brickwork is not visible, measuring the thickness of the wall at any entrance or window will help to determine the construction type. A solid brick wall is usually about 22cm thick, a cavity wall between 27cm and 30cm and a solid stone wall as much as 50cm thick. The age of your home can also be a good indicator; if it was built before the late 1920s it is likely to have solid walls.

FAQs

  • How Much Floor Space Will I Use With Internal Wall Insulation?

    The thickness of internal wall insulation varies from brand to brand, but you can expect it to be anywhere from 60mm to 100mm — largely, the more expensive the insulation, the thinner its profile. You should expect to lose at least 100mm on each wall when insulating interior walls.

  • What does external wall insulation involve?

    External solid wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulating material to the outside walls of a building and coating this with a protective render or cladding. There are lots of options to create the finish that you want and these may even add value to your home.

    External solid wall insulation, rather than internal, may be particularly suitable if you want to avoid any loss of space or the disruption of work going on inside your house, or if you are doing other work to the exterior of your property, such as re-rendering. It is a specialist job that requires an approved installer who will specialise in work using a specific insulation system.
