Isover insulates the homeless
Isover insulation is helping transform a derelict former TA barracks into permanent accommodation for the homeless.
They renovated the chapel and used it as a massive, vaulted kitchen/diner, built a mirror image of it for use as a study and three bedrooms, and then connected the two by a single-storey glazed extension used as a living room.
Isover insulation was installed beneath the timber floor as part of the underfloor heating system and in the brick walls of the original chapel to improve thermal performance.
It will also be used for this purpose in the loft as well as for sound insulation in the bedroom partition walls.
