How to Install Cavity Wall Insulation?

Cavity Wall Insulation

So, your double brick home is currently under construction and you’ve decided to install Cavity Wall Insulation in it. You’ve either purchased the materials already, or are looking to purchase now. Either way, you might be wanting to install the insulation panels yourself. This is a great idea. Fixing cavity wall insulation can be a breeze, as long as you are confident and a little handy. To assist, the team at Foilboard have provided some guidelines to DIY installing Cavity Wall Insulation.


Begin with safety in mind first. Ensure you are wearing the correct safety gear and have cleared the area of any hazards. Once you have the insulation panels, ensure you have the correct tools. A pair of scissors will do fine for adjustments and cuts. Begin by approaching from the outside of the framework. This is the side where the bricks will be built after completion of the frame. When you get Cavity Wall Insulation from Foilboard, the inner skin is constructed to 1200mm high with brick ties installed. You can fix Foilboard Spacer Block over the ties, in order to maintain cavity space, though it is not essential.

Now, place the panels horizontally, installing them over the brick tie in the centre of the cavity. When satisfied, tape all the joins and any remaining gaps in the material. This will ensure that the insulation operates at its most efficient, preventing external weather conditions from penetrating your home. Once you have completed this process for one section, simply repeat for the remainder of the perimeter.
