Durable, Affordable, and Efficient: Why is EPS Bead Insulation the Perfect Choice for Cavity Walls?

What is EPS Bead Insulation?

EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) bead insulation is a known and highly effective solution for cavity wall insulation in properties. It consists of small beads that are made from expanded polystyrene, this form of insulation offers benefits such as thermal performance, energy efficiency and sustainability. Providing numerous positive effects on your home.

Durability and Longevity

One key factor with any insulation investment is durability. It is important to consider how long the insulation will last and how long it will be effective. Luckily, EPS beads provide long-lasting protection from both a thermal performance point of view and moisture resistance, which prevents mould growth. The beads are also designed specifically to withstand temperature changes, which helps to sustain performance in the long term with minimal-to-no degradation.

Affordability and Cost Savings

Every homeowner should consider the affordability of an insulation investment and the cost-saving potential it has. EPS beads are solely focused on insulating cavity walls, which can reduce up to 33% of costs on energy bills, as external walls are one of the main factors for heat loss. Therefore, the potential for long-term (and short-term) cost-saving via EPS beads is very positive for the homeowner to consider. While project prices will differ due to size and complexity, the effectiveness and energy-saving component of the beads will outweigh the initial investment cost. Insulation is always a long-term investment, that has not only financial benefits but environmentally friendly ones too.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Benefits

One of the other core reasons for investing in insulation for your home is for the energy efficiency and sustainability benefits. Homes are quickly becoming more energy efficient with smart heaters, solar panels and insulation. Insulation is one of the simplest solutions to becoming more energy efficient, just by reducing heat loss via your walls, roofs, floors and other areas of your home. EPS beads do a great job of reducing heat loss via external walls, ie. cavity walls. This reduction in heat loss translates to a smaller carbon footprint, contributing to sustainable living and a greener future for the next generations.

Market Appeal & Property Value

The other financial benefit of insulation you should consider is the property value increase. Smart homes and energy-efficient homes are a lot more sought-after. By increasing the overall energy efficiency rating of your property, it becomes a more lucrative investment for potential buyers. Installing EPS beading in your cavity walls is one sure way of transforming your home, making it a lot more energy efficient and eco-friendly. This can be a great selling point if you decide to list your property on the housing market.

Installation Process and Professional Considerations

While there are many DIY insulation methods you can invest a bit of time and money into, when it comes to the bigger projects and the areas that can be most effective for you, it is highly advised to hire a certified professional for your installation needs. Experts can take the time to assess and provide clarification over each insulation project, have the skills to implement the EPS beads process and execute with precision. The worst thing you can do is take a potentially money-saving area of your home and ruin it with a botched DIY job that will end up costing more to fix.
