Insulation

Making sure The Estate properties are properly insulated is the single most effective thing that can be done to reduce tenants’ heating bills thereby reducing the property’s carbon footprints.

Assessments were carried out on The Estate’s‚ tenanted properties to confirm whether there was insulation present and if so, what amount was in situ.

Eighteen properties received top ups to their existing insulation depths to bring them up to the current recommended level of 270mm.

Most of the properties on the Estate are Listed and are of a stone faced solid wall construction. Unfortunately, therefore external wall insulation could not be considered.

Glanusk Lodge is the one property where cavity wall insulation could be and was installed.
