Can I Get Free Insulation

Types of Insulation You Can Get

Cavity Wall Insulation

Stops 35% of heat from being wasted through the uninsulated cavity walls. That means you’ll get significantly less energy bills than usual with insulated cavity walls. Blown Mineral Wool / EPS Beads are the most common insulation material for cavity wall insulation.

Loft Insulation

An empty loft is responsible for up to 25% heat loss and leaves you wondering why your home temperature is not getting stable. Glass Wool (Fibreglass) is a commonly used material for loft insulation.

External & Internal Wall Insulation 

Uninsulated solid walls are required to be insulated from both inside and outside, which is why they are responsible for more heat loss/energy savings, up to 45%.

How Insulation Saves Energy? 

A building’s fabric (walls, loft, floor, doors) is the main driver of energy efficiency. The Insulation adds a layer of thermal barrier, which helps maintain the temperature of the building as no heat or cold is allowed to come inside or go outside the building. That’s how insulation works to improve the energy efficiency of your home.

Minimum Insulation Requirements

To ensure energy efficiency, the following U-values are the minimum acceptable for existing parts of a property:

  1. Walls: U-value of 0.30 W/m²K (133.33 mm of insulation material)
  2. Loft: U-value of 0.16 W/m²K (270 mm of insulation material)

Who Can Get A Free Insulation Grant? 

That’s simpler than you think. Here’s how you can qualify. 

  1. You must be a homeowner/tenant (with landlord’s consent)
