Solid Wall Insulation
Solid wall insualtion is generally suitable for properties built before the 1930s. Solid walls are made up of ‘solid brick’, therefore do not have a gap to fill with insulation, unlike ‘cavity’ walls. These walls are insulated in a different way to stop heat escape.
The only way to insulate this type of home is with ‘solid wall’ insulation which can be installed on the inside, or the outside of a property.
