Author(s): NDM Heath Ltd
Insulating solid walls has become a considerable focus in recent years, particularly with the introduction of The Green Deal and other schemes which place an emphasis on the thermal retrofit of traditional solid walled houses. Given the technical risks associated with insulating walls internally, external insulation is often an option worth considering, where aesthetics allow.
