The cavity wall insulation is all about filling the gap between inner and outer wall of external walls of houses. The insulation has to be 50mm minimum to serve the purpose of resisting heat flow through external masonry walls. Previously‚ from the year of 1920 onwards‚ buildings in the UK were constructed keeping such gaps to prevent dampness in the homes. However‚ cavity insulation have been observed to hinder comfort and energy savings of households. That’s why these cavity walls are considered
