Cavity Wall Insulation in Steel and Timber Framed Houses
During the 1980s, timber and steel frame construction gained popularity for domestic houses in the UK. This approach boasted several advantages, including rapid construction times, generating enthusiasm within the industry. However, it soon became evident that these new framing methods came with its own set of challenges.
Many steel and timber-framed houses are insulated with cavity wall insulation, despite the unsuitability of this approach for such home frames. Unfortunately, opting for cavity wall insulation in these properties opens the possibility of structural risks and dampness.
What’s the problem?
Timber and steel frame structures need air circulation to prevent rot or corrosion. Homes often have suspended timber floors with air bricks for airflow, safeguarding against rot. Similarly, cavities in timber and steel-framed houses require airflow.
After insulation fills open wall cavities, air circulation significantly decreases, elevating the risk of condensation. Trapped condensation against a timber frame can lead to wood rot, resulting in substantial and challenging-to-repair structural damage to the property. Similarly, this condensation on a timber frame can result in corrosion.
Are you living in a Timber or Steel Framed home?
If your timber-framed property is insulated with cavity wall insulation, it is highly recommended to have it removed promptly. This is because failure to address this issue promptly could result in significant structural damage to your property through damp, rot, and corrosion.
Ignoring these issues can be detrimental due to the structure of the property being at risk.
