Cavity Wall Insulation Cost Savings
The following example shows the average cost savings when choosing KORE Fill Cavity Wall Insulation over rigid board PIR insulation. The costings took into account a semi-detached house with a wall area of 137m2 to achieve a U-value of 0.18W/m2K.
Even with a wider cavity (170mm) the cost savings on average is 15%. This figure does not include the cost savings associated with skip hire and waste removal associated with rigid board insulation.
