Cavity Wall Insulation

A Simple Upgrade for a Warmer, More Energy-Efficient Home

Cavity Wall Insulation If your home was built between the 1920s and the early 2000s, there’s a good chance it could be eligible for cavity wall insulation — two layers of brick or blockwork with a gap (or “cavity”) between them. While this design helps reduce rain penetration, the empty space can also let valuable heat escape, especially in colder months.

Cavity wall insulation is a proven, cost-effective way to boost your home’s comfort and cut heating bills. By filling the gap with high-performance insulating material, you create a thermal barrier that keeps heat inside during winter and helps maintain a cooler environment in summer.

We only offer this insulation method as part of our One Stop Shop Service.

How It Works

Energlaze installs cavity wall insulation by injecting specialised insulating beads or foam into the cavity through small, strategically placed holes in the exterior walls. This process is quick, clean, and typically completed in a single day — with minimal disruption to your home.

The Benefits of Cavity Wall Insulation

  • Lower Energy Bills – Reduce heat loss by up to 35%, meaning you use less energy to keep your home warm.

  • Year-Round Comfort – Keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

  • Fast Installation – Most homes are completed in less than a day.

  • SEAI Grant Support – Eligible homes can avail of government grants under the SEAI Home Energy Upgrade scheme.

  • Environmentally Friendly – Reduced energy use means lower CO₂ emissions.

SEAI Grants for Cavity Wall Insulation

Under the SEAI Home Energy Upgrade programme, cavity insulation is available as part of a multi-upgrade project. This means you can combine it with measures such as attic insulation, window upgrades, or renewable heating systems for maximum impact.

Energlaze is an SEAI-registered One Stop Shop, meaning we manage the entire grant application and installation process for you.
