WHAT IS A BISF PROPERTY?

BISF refers to houses created by the British Iron and Steel Federation. They were looking to introduce non-standard construction that was both quicker and cheaper to build than traditional houses, simply due to demand outstripped supply and a shortage of housing. 

Cavity Wall Insulation in BISF Properties

Due to the non-structural layer of the walls in a BISF property being made of plasterboard or hardboard, cavity wall insulation can cause issues. This is because the cavity needs to be well ventilated to prevent any condensation forming on the steel structure and causing rust. If you filled it with insulation, the condensation and damp insulation may cause the steel rust which would eventually cause structural damage.
