Cavity Bead Insulation Sligo

Expanded Polystyrene Beads (EPS) are an effective method to insulate cavity walls. Polystyrene beads are pumped into the cavity of a wall with adhesive. The beads and glue set to form a rigid insulating barrier which significantly reduces the amount of heat lost through your walls (which accounts for 25% of heat lost through a house).

EPS bead cavity wall insulation will typically raise your home’s energy rating by one BER level, but as a BER is specific and unique to that one house and ever dwelling is unique, it cannot be guaranteed to make a level change.

The reduction in heat-loss through your walls is dependent on a number of factors including what your walls are made of (brick, stone, concrete blocks etc.) and how wide the cavity is (a wider cavity means a greater depth of insulation).
Heat loss through a wall is measured by its “U-Value” and we would expect the amount of heat lost to reduce by between 65% to 85% with bonded bead insulation.

Because bonded beads have excellent ‘flow’ characteristics substantially fewer drill holes are required when compared with other cavity fill systems.

The fluid nature of the system means that during installation the beads fill voids very effectively meaning it can be suitable for stone cavity walls.

Bonded beads give an excellent combination of price and performance. Installation work can be completed quickly and efficiently with a minimum of disruption.
