WHAT DOES CAVITY WALL INSULATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cavity wall insulation

Cavity wall insulation is used to reduce heat loss through a cavity wall by filling the air space with material that inhibits heat transfer. This immobilises the air within the cavity, preventing convection, and can substantially reduce space heating costs. A wall that has had cavity wall insulation installed, with refilled holes highlighted with arrows. During construction of new buildings, cavities are often filled with glass fibre wool or rock wool panels placed between the two leaves of the wall, but many other building insulation materials offer various advantages and many others are also widely used. For existing buildings that were not built with insulated cavities, a fibrous material such as cellulose insulation or glass wool is blown into the cavity through suitably drilled holes until it fills the entire wall space. Foam can also be used for this purpose. Although some foams used in the past, such as urea-formaldehyde, are no longer used, others, such as polyurethane, have taken their place.
