    I am looking for the best way to insulate my house further, it is about 20-25 years old cavity walls, it is hard to keep the heat in during the winter months, was looking at cavity wall insulation the likes of http://www.premierinsulations.com/?gclid=CO_0hs_y6ZsCFWIB4wodt0s36w this, wondering if anyone has any experiences with this. Sorry if I posted in the wrong place.

    cavity is the best solution without interfering with the internals.

    cavity fill when done right will completely fill the voids/cavity which is what it is suppose to do.

    grey bead is much tackier and suppose to full more and better.

    get plenty of quotes and look at doing in now, during the summer. lads might be quieter now.

    price around and get written guarantee on fill

    you may need also to look at filling the attic. at least 8 if not 12 inches of fibre glass

    also check and see if you are entitled to grant.
