- What is Einblasdämmung?
- Einblasdämmung is a cost-effective insulation method where loose-fill insulation material is blown into existing wall cavities.
- How long does the process take?
- The process is relatively quick, often completed in a few hours, and requires minimal disruption compared to other methods.
- What are potential drawbacks or risks?
- While effective, it requires careful material selection (water-repellent for exterior use) and proper installation to avoid issues like moisture damage and reduced insulation effectiveness.
- What types of houses is it suitable for?
- It's suitable for buildings with cavity walls, allowing for insulation without significant exterior modifications.
- How does it compare to other insulation methods?
- It's a good alternative to more expensive external insulation systems, offering a balance between cost, effectiveness, and minimal visual impact on the building's appearance.
