Energy-Efficient Homes: Wall Cavity Insulation

Most of you are wondering about the real benefits of wall cavity insulation. This is one of the various ways to insulate our home so here we will present reasons why we should consider this option.
About a third of all the heat lost in an un-insulated home escapes through the walls. Heat will always flow from a warm area to a cold one. In the winter, the colder it is outside, the faster heat from your home will escape into the surrounding air.
Cavity wall insulation is used to reduce heat loss through a cavity wall by filling the air space with material that inhibits heat transfer. This immobilizes the air within the cavity, preventing convection, and can substantially reduce space heating costs.  Cavities are often filled with glass fiber wool or rock wool panels. Cavity wall insulation also helps to prevent convection and can keep a house warm by making sure that less heat is lost through walls. This can also  be a more cost-efficient way of heating one's house.
Whether your structure is new or an existing one, you can add wall cavity insulation to most types of walls. If your home is older, then you may not have wall insulation.
