        <description><![CDATA[My house was built in the mid 1990s and has 100mm cavity with 50mm of polystyrene board insulation against the inner leaf. I am considering taking up the Bord Gais offer to have the remainder of the cavity filled with pumped polystyrene bead cavity insulation.<br /><br />
Has anyone done this and see a noticable improvement in the warmth of the house?<br /><br />
I am still wondering if the benefits in energy efficiency are worth the possible risks of introducing damp or other problems - any comments?<br /><br />
It seems that once you take the step of having this done it it difficult/impossible to undo it even if problems don't appear for 10 or 20 years.]]>
