What is the best insulator for cavity walls?

Knauf SUPAFIL® Carbon Plus stands out as an excellent choice for both new and existing masonry constructions. This glass mineral wool insulation is designed specifically to enhance energy efficiency and reduce heat loss, making it an ideal solution for cavity wall insulation.


Knauf SUPAFIL® Carbon Plus insulation is a loose-fill material that is injected directly into cavity walls, forming a seamless thermal barrier. This product has been engineered to provide optimal thermal performance while remaining breathable, meaning it won’t trap moisture within the walls, which could lead to dampness or structural issues. One of its key advantages is its versatility. The insulation can be installed either from the inside or the outside of the property, offering flexibility based on the building’s design and the homeowner’s preferences.


When it comes to energy efficiency, Knauf Carbon Plus insulation excels. By reducing heat transfer through the walls, it keeps homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer, leading to significant reductions in energy consumption and heating costs. This contributes not only to more comfortable living conditions but also to a lower carbon footprint. As energy efficiency becomes a priority in the construction and renovation sectors, Knauf SUPAFIL® Carbon Plus is increasingly recognised as an industry-leading solution.


One of the concerns with cavity wall insulation is ensuring the work is carried out to a high standard. Improper installation can lead to gaps or uneven coverage, which compromises the insulation’s effectiveness. Insulation Extract, a trusted and accredited installer, specialises in the installation of Knauf SUPAFIL® Carbon Plus. They ensure that the material is evenly distributed throughout the cavity, maximising thermal efficiency and providing consistent protection against heat loss.


Additionally, this insulation material is non-combustible and meets the highest fire safety standards, offering peace of mind to homeowners. It’s also made from recycled materials, aligning with sustainable construction practices.
