Q7: Will cavity wall insulation affect internal walls?
A7: No, it won’t impact the appearance of your internal walls.
Q8: What does the R-Value mean for insulation?
A8: The R-Value measures how well insulation resists heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the better the insulation.
Q9: What R-Value is required for UK insulation?
A9: There’s no set requirement. The necessary R-Value depends on the building's needs; consult a structural engineer for specific advice.
Q10: What is the best type of insulation for an attic?
A10: Insulation rolls, mineral wool, and fibre wool are popular attic insulation choices. Slabs or boards can also be used between rafters.
Q11: How long does insulation last?
A11: Most insulation lasts 15-20 years, but high-quality materials like modern fiberglass can last up to 100 years if installed correctly.
Q12: Is soundproof insulation worth it?
A12: Yes, it's effective for reducing noise, especially in internal stud walls. However, its higher density may slightly reduce thermal performance.
