Frequently Asked Questions About Wall Insulation in Perth
Clear answers about EcoBead cavity wall insulation for new and existing Perth homes.
What is cavity wall insulation?
Cavity wall insulation fills the space between the inner and outer wall leaves with insulating material. EcoBead uses bonded graphite polystyrene beads that create a stable thermal break and do not move freely once installed.
Does cavity wall insulation work in double-brick homes?
Yes. EcoBead is designed for suitable cavity walls, including many double-brick homes. An on-site assessment confirms that the cavity is accessible, dry and appropriate before work begins.
How long does cavity wall insulation installation take?
Installation time depends on the home's size, access and wall construction. Retrofit work is designed to minimise disruption, and EcoBead confirms the expected timeframe after inspecting the property.
What R-value can EcoBead cavity wall insulation achieve?
The achievable R-value varies with cavity width, the existing construction and installation coverage. EcoBead assesses the wall build-up and provides project-specific thermal information for the recommended system.
Is EcoBead safe for retrofit installation?
Yes, when the property has been assessed and the system is installed correctly. The bonded beads are injected through small access points and set in place, helping prevent movement or escape during later works.
Does EcoBead insulation suit Perth's climate?
Yes. EcoBead reduces heat transfer through external walls, helping homes stay cooler during Perth summers and retain warmth during cooler winter periods.
