Cavity Wall Insulation

nophd08

Hi All
I know this has been covered before but I'm thinking of getting my cavity walls pumped. My house is 10yrs old and has standard aeroboard in cavity. Has any one had this done on similar spec house. I'm guessing cavitys are 100mm. Would this be correct.
What is best type of bead to use, Bonded bead or Wool fibre.
Will I notice significant difference?

My house is a bungalow built eleven years ago. Got this insulation in January of this year
and must say it was worth every cent. It has made a big difference the rooms retain the heat for much longer so heating does not have to be on for as long . Also got a grant of650 for cavity walls and attic. Would highly recommend it.

Thanks Mrs B,
Can you remember what type of bead was used?

Got mine done last year with a bonded bead insulation and it turned out great. My house was built about 25 years ago so had only about 38mm aeroboard in the cavity. The overall cavity width would not be as wide as yours so you should benefit more with the extra insulation in the wider cavity.

Platinum Ecobead was the product used in my house and Id have no problem recommending it. (I have no connection with this product obviously)
