About

Building physics meets building biology.

Warm Walls is made by Planet A — a Cornwall-based research and development company applying building science to the UK's hardest-to-treat homes, and an Octopus Energy Zero Bills accredited partner.

Why we exist

Old buildings deserve a modern answer.

Millions of solid-wall homes are written off as too difficult to insulate — left cold, damp and expensive to run. We started Planet A to change that: to give traditional buildings a deep fabric upgrade that respects how they were built to work.

Our patent-pending Warm Walls system, field-validated with Verto Homes, makes these homes heat-pump-ready and puts Octopus Zero Bills within reach for housing that conventional retrofit can't touch.
