Can solid wall insulation be sexy?

Posted by: Paul King

To significantly improve the energy efficiency of the vast majority of our existing homes, that’s to say,  to go beyond the low hanging fruit of loft and cavity wall insulation, is fraught with hassle, expensive, and let’s face it, not the most compelling of topics for conversation with our friends. But, it could be the most important thing we could do to tackle climate change, and at the same time, one of the smartest investments we could make in our homes.

So we have to turn things around. We have to make energy efficient refurb easy, affordable and yes, even aspirational! And that’s where Kevin McCloud and the Grand Designs Great British Refurb Campaign come in. Because if anyone can make solid wall insulation sexy, Kevin McCloud, the heart-throb tsar of the designer home, surely can.
