FAQs
Do you check for proper ventilation?
To ensure your home is both energy-efficient and well-ventilated, we may need to upgrade existing system or add additional ventilation to your property.
This may require drilling through your wall to support the introduction of new systems but rest assured, this step is performed carefully by our trained professionals to minimise disruption and maintain the integrity of your home.
Why is ventilation important?
While cavity wall insulation helps retain heat, reduce energy bills, and increase comfort, correct ventilation ensures a healthy and balanced indoor environment.

What ventilation options are available?
To complement your insulation, here are some of the ventilation options that can enhance your home:
PURGE Natural Ventilation
This relies on features like trickle vents, windows, or air bricks to allow fresh air to enter and circulate. It’s simple and effective in many cases but depends on outdoor conditions.
Mechanical Ventilation (known as Extractor Fans)
Commonly used in areas prone to moisture, like kitchens and bathrooms & utility rooms, extractor fans help prevent condensation by removing excess humidity keeping your property nice and dry.
What is Thermabead insulation?
Thermabead insulation is an advanced cavity wall insulation system that uses high-performance expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads, bonded with a specialist adhesive, to provide excellent thermal efficiency. This system fills the cavity evenly, reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency in homes and commercial buildings. Thermabead insulation is designed to be durable, moisture-resistant, and breathable, helping to prevent damp issues while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. It is an ideal solution for improving the energy performance of properties, lowering heating costs, and contributing to a more sustainable future.
What are the benefits of Thermabead insulation?
Improved Energy Efficiency: Thermabead provides exceptional thermal performance, helping to reduce heat loss through your walls and lowering your energy bills.
Enhanced Comfort: Your home will feel warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, creating a more comfortable living space year-round.
Long-Term Savings: With reduced energy usage, you’ll see savings on heating bills over time while reducing your carbon footprint.
What is an airbox?
A device designed to improve indoor air quality by facilitating controlled ventilation in properties with uPVC windows. The Air-Box® Comfort model can be installed without drilling or milling the window profile, preserving the integrity of the window while ensuring compliance with Building Regulations Approved Document Part F and PAS2030: 2019 standards. By allowing fresh air to enter through a controlled mechanism, it helps reduce issues like condensation, mold growth, and indoor air pollutants, thereby promoting a healthier living environment.
