In recent years, the issue of cavity wall insulation in steel and timber-framed houses has emerged as a significant concern for structural stability and damp issues. While the intention behind insulating these properties may have been to improve energy efficiency, the consequences can be severe and often overlooked.
The Need for Air Circulation
Timber and steel frames need air circulation to prevent rot or corrosion. Just as we employ air bricks in suspended timber floors to maintain timber health, the same applies within the cavities of steel and timber-framed houses. However, fully insulating these cavities with retro blown cavity wall insulation opens the door to structural damage. This insulation method increases the likelihood of condensation forming and becoming trapped against the frame. For timber framing, this can lead to wood rot, while steel frames are susceptible to corrosion.
The Urgency of Cavity Wall Insulation Extraction
If your timber or steel-framed property has been insulated with cavity wall insulation, it’s essential to have it removed promptly. If you don’t address this issue, it can quickly result in serious structural damage and pose health risks due to restricted air circulation. With thousands of homeowners across the UK requiring remedial work, including full extraction of cavity wall insulation, it’s crucial to take action to protect your property and its value.
