Spacetherm Product Launch.

For over 30 years, The A Proctor Group has been providing a range of insulation to the construction industry in the UK.

Now, working in partnership with Aspen Aerogels Inc in the United States, they are able to offer a range of next generation insulation systems.

The Spacetherm range of high performance materials provides the highest level of thermal insulation possible with a class leading thermal conductivity ranging from 0.012 W/mK to 0.014 W/mK.

This remarkable performance is achieved through the use of flexible aerogel blankets developed by Aspen Aerogels The Aerogel insulation used in the Spacetherm panels is a unique high performance material derived from silica gel.

Until now Aerogel has been primarily used in industrial and petrochemical applications where it's dependable and easily verifiable performance has been thoroughly proven.

The A Proctor Group will be offering these high performance thermal blankets for use in walls, roofs and floors where material thickness is critical.

Spacetherm offers cost savings over traditional enveloping schemes where the insulation is applied to the external fabric of the building.

Because Spacetherm is applied internally there is no need for scaffolding during installation which reduces associated health and safety risks.

The use of an internal insulation system also resolves problems associates with the use of external systems in blocks where there is a mix of tenants and owner-occupiers, the internal application process is also unaffected by adverse weather conditions.

Additionally, the Spacetherm panels can be supplied with a Fermacell facing, giving an exceptionally hard wearing and fire resistant internal surface.

John Johnston, A Proctor Group Business Manager for Insulation Products, stated that "the launch of this new product brings a new dimension to the insulating of buildings and will offer Architects,Specifiers,House Builders and Housing Associations greater flexibility in achieving the governments guidelines on energy saving." The A Proctor Group will provide a full back up service including thermal calculations, site visits, installation information as well as technical advice and specification guidance in the comfort of your offices.
