Cavity Wall Insulation Requirements
When you're planning to insulate your cavity walls, you must first ensure the material you select is absolutely right for the specific way your wall has been constructed. Additionally, if you're looking at certain foam cavity wall insulation materials, you'll be required to assess the potential risk of formaldehyde gas being released. For more comprehensive advice on these specific conditions, you should contact your local authority's building control department.
