We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Insulation System",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Insulated render transform low rise social housing from
Insulated Render and Cladding Association, which we summarised at the time by saying "Outdated, cold, damp housing stock throughout the UK is being given the insulated render treatment to transform it into warm, dry and visually appealing
homes".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release INCA award for insulated render treatment from
Insulated Render and Cladding Association: "New offices, a commercial building and a hospital feature in Insulated Render and Cladding Association awards for the best use of insulated renders in commercial and public buildings".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Zotefoams
- take a look at Zotefoams plc and UFP Technologies agreement
which says: "Zotefoams plc the foam technologists, and UFP Technologies have formalised an agreement to co-operate in the market for high performance insulation systems".
Take a look also at the news release from Alumasc Exterior Building Products, Heritage properties go green at Culzean,
as well as Ward DW wall panels at seat of learning from Ward Insulated Panels,
and Spacetherm range of high performance materials from A Proctor Group.
