New Walls

Timber-framed walls

Quality insulation in the walls of your home is necessary to maintain an efficient overall thermal envelope.  Insulating the floors and ceiling is not enough, as heat will look for a way to escape.  As well as keeping the heat in, wall insulation can double as a moisture barrier. Not only that, it will help make your home quieter. 

For timber frame construction, insulation is generally placed within the wall framing.

Masonry walls

For solid construction systems such as masonry block, the insulation can be placed on the outside of the wall, within the block on the outermost side, or on the inside, to create a passive thermal envelope.
