What is Full-Fill Cavity Insulation?

Definition

Full-fill cavity insulation fills the gap between the inner and outer leaves of a wall using rigid PIR boards. This method maximises thermal performance and improves energy efficiency.

Benefits

  • Maximum Thermal Performance: Achieves lower U-values compared to partial-fill systems.
  • Condensation Resistance: Reduces moisture risk by filling the cavity entirely.
  • Versatile: Suitable for both new-build and retrofit projects, depending on cavity width.

Applications

  • ECO/CT boards are designed explicitly for full-fill applications.
  • Works in conjunction with dry lining and internal plasterboards.
  • Applicable in residential houses, commercial buildings, and multi-storey constructions.

Best Practice Tips

  • Ensure boards are cut precisely to cavity width to avoid gaps.
  • Pair with VCL where internal moisture is high.
  • Confirm building regulations compliance for U-value targets.
