A CAVITY WALL INSULATION INSTALLATION Part 2

[uoyuoy444]

Nicely done ! have you notice much savings in your heating bill? Thanks for your work.

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@uoyuoy444 Only last week our Gas supplier gave us over £150 rebate back from our usual 3 monthly payment. It has been a relatively mild winter so far, but it certainly feels more comfortable in the house and we dont imeadiately feel like turning the heating on when we come in. I believe it is a benefit well worth doing...

what is the brand of that laptop?

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@eseaidea Its a Packard Bell which I believe has already been superseded! Its been good especially since it has a single hardrive keeping everything together and allowing maximum usage. So many past problems have been down to splitting the hatd drive, as most laptops do.

If there is leakage, humidity, flooding is a problem of housing for 100 years

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@mario8silicone It is true, the exterior walls should not allow any rain to enter through to get to the filling. It claims to be water proof but could allow water to soak into it and then reach the interior wall.

have you noticed a difference  in your heating / air cond bill?

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@jer19541 We had this fitted only 2 months ago and of course its summer time now. We never get really hot Summers in the UK to make air conditioning necessary. We wont know about savings in heating bills until winter returns towards the end of the year. The theory says we should save, as heat will be trapped indoors and not flowing out through the walls.

@ADMIRALSCORNER hi how are you fonding the insulation handles now?ive heard it keeps a room cool in the summer too ,i had cavity insulation done today at my flat .

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@TheMarkc See my reply to "uoyuoy444" who has just asked a similar question. I quess the same must be true in hot climates (which ours isnt!) to keep the place cooler in Summer.as the walls dont let heat transfer through so well. I expect you will be pleased with the result!

[TheMarkc]

@ADMIRALSCORNER yes first nite im already noticing a difference the flat wasn't ice cold when i woke up, i had my attic insulated as well free through the council grant :)

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@TheMarkc Thats good! especially if the local council help with the cost of the atic too!

[WoelkerVideo]

Very interesting and excellent video.

[robmasterman]

We had this done a few years ago and it's made a tremendous difference to the warmth of the house in Winter...another fascinating video Mike...Bob

just great coverage of what is being done by the contractors

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@canvids1 Thanks Wayne. the final part 3 should be uploaded today. I tried to do that yesterday but after 6 hours of uploading, my broadband connection caused the upload to fail yet again! That is so annoying!

[howarth004]

Bet he was relieved when the compressor started, that should make a big difference this next winter, but you will need to get the loft done.

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@howarth004 Yes thats the next priority. We do have the old standard one inch covering with fibreglass insulation in the loft but today I believe five inches is recomended. I do have the situation where things are complicated because i have put in a chipboard floor there, and built the model railway upon that, so I will have to go through each floor board one by one and see what can be done.
