UNLOCK THE SUPER INSULATING POTENTIAL OF YOUR CAVITY WALLS TODAY USING A REVOLUTIONARY LIQUID CAVITY INSULATION THAT ACTUALLY THINKS ITS SOLID

Read how you can turn your walls from "ENEMY" to "ALLY" in the fight to keep your home warm, dry and cosy.

What’s you will discover here is stuff most people will never know or ever realise about their external wall cavities.

The scary thing is, your walls have been screwing up your attempts to heat your home, your office your workplace for years. After your Attic or Loft, your walls are the next biggest source of heat loss from your home, your office and your buildings. Up to 30% of your heat leaks out through your Cavity walls, yet to most people see walls are a scary subject, full of myths, speculation and downright crazy misinformation.

Here at Fusion we will try and demystify some of those myths and put you on the road to Cavity Insulation Nirvana.

OK, let’s start with some fundamentals.

Here's the first big revelation: It’s not your wall’s fault that they are currently one of the biggest problems in your freezing home, so don’t be taking it out on them . Blame the regulations. You see in this over regulated country of ours, many many many years ago some one came up with the idea of a cavity wall. Now’s that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing because before that we had solid walls and bad rendering(plastering) systems so the nett result was rain and damp could seep into your home or building.

Then along came the concrete block and revolutionised the way we built homes, buildings and offices.

The next big development was the “cavity” and its main role in life was to create two skins on your building. The outside one could get wet and damp without the internal one getting damp and wetting the inside of your home. There were also some nebulous worries about where condensation took place and it was felt, that the best place for this happen was in the cavity (the cavity is that never visited place between the two skins of your external block work) .

So if you’ve followed us this far we have established that in a cavity wall there is;

•An outside wall of blocks

•Inside that we have a cavity or gap typically 50mm to 75mm thick, and

•Inside we have the inside wall and if that’s wasn’t enough complications the cavity in the vast majority of houses and buildings is ........

•Ventilated – yes ventilated. Why ventilated ? Well its a bit unclear why, but the fear was the cavity might fill up with water or condensation or such and because of this there needed to be outside air circulating at will. Outside air in your cavity was meant to keep the inside skin of your block-work dry.

Yes DRY!

We know what you’re thinking. How can moist damp air from outside keep your internal walls dry? Yes like us you have just realised the only time that air from outside could actually keep your internal wall dry is when the air from outside has lower absolute humidity than the inside of your home. Which to be fair, happens for a few weeks each year, when we get what’s technically known as a summer. Once the summer starts, we are all pretty much living outside at that stage trying to get as much sunburn as possible. Apart from that, for the other 48 weeks, Irish air is as damp as a “squib”, not that we at Fusion know what a squib is but it seems to be a pretty damp thing indeed.

OK just to recap, we have walls, we have cavities (gaps between the walls) and we have damp breezes blowing round those cavities and guess what?

Damp breezes blowing against internal cavity walls are fantastic at chilling your home.

The reason for this is that the internal bocks in your house are great ‘CONDUCTORS’ of heat. They are solid, they are dense and as such can transmit heat from inside your rooms outside, to that breeze that’s in the cavity. The greater the temperature differential the greater the speed at which heat will leave through your walls.

But "Hold on a cotton picking minute" I hear you say . "What about the insulation in my cavity. Isn’t that meant to stop heat leaving my home and office?"

Well here’s the next big discovery you are about to make;

If your home was built in the 70’s or later chances are that it has some form of cavity insulation. Most cavity insulation installed since the 70’s is what known as foam board or Styrofoam or air-board insulation panels. Usually white, and very light. Now on paper they have great insulation values but when placed in your cavity by block layers or bricklayers they have a huge weakness. That weakness is joints and gaps .

Using traditional building techniques these boards are badly butted together in the cavity and are almost never taped along the joints and block ties. Hence the cold air circulating in the cavity of your home or building can get in behind the insulation and pretty much suck the heat out of your home at will.

The shocking truth is that most board insulations installed into cavities over the 40 years are little better than useless. We know this sounds harsh but we've lived in enough cold damp houses, and saw enough of them being built, over the years to know what we are talking about.

It's a real challenge to solve the problem of a cavity without any insulation or a cavity with badly fitted or draughty insulation.

Traditionally the only way was to drill holes in the exterior skin of block-work through to the cavity and blow beads or some other flyaway material into the cavity and hey presto you filled the cavity, with light blowaway beads that couldn't really stop that damp breeze we were telling you about earlier.

You see if an insulation can't create an air tight seal in a void or cavity that's ventilated then its U values will be destroyed by that damp breeze that continually blowing through there. The shocking thing is that most of these bead and fibre insulations are fine when absolutely dry. Get them wet or damp and they no longer act as insulators. Instead they turn into great conductors of heat.

Now heres the really interesting development. Fusion Insulation has a dastardly effective cavity wall insulation that manages to do some really spectacularly clever things all at once.

How our Cold Pour Foam will transform your walls and maybe even your life;

Lets cut to the chase here and we can deal with the science later.

Fusion Cold Pour Foam is just that. What we do is drill holes, like I described earlier, into your outside wall at 1m centers typically . When we reach the cavity we use our special pumping equipment and in a controlled fashion we inject foam liquid into the cavity. Thats right a 'goopy' liquid into your cavity. It flows down to the bottom of your cavity and after a few minutes sitting there it does something really magical. It starts to set. But it sets in a really great way . You see it expands while it sets. Very Slowly. It rises and rises and fills your entire cavity solid with a low density super ins ulating foam.

Your Cavity is now filled with SUPERINSULATING foam which wont soak water and wont bridge water or dampness across the cavity.

But here's the next great thing.

Your cavity can breathe but those cooling draughts and breezes can no longer sap the heat out of your walls.

What your never thought possible can be achieved. Fusion Cold Pour Foam wont shrink, collapse or melt away in the cavity. In fact it comes with a lifetime performance warranty.

You get the double benefits of great U values in your cavity and super air-tightness.
