Eco-friendly Haddon Lake House project
Celotex tuff-RTM Zero GA3000Z multi-purpose insulations boards have been used throughout the eco-friendly Haddon Lake House project in St Lawrence on the Isle of Wight.
Celotex tuff-RTM GA3000 and CW3000 will remain the heart of the product range, providing multi-purpose (GA) and cavity wall (CW) insulation boards which are uniquely reinforced with glassfibres, and feature the best reaction-to-fire performance measured in accordance with new European Standards of any PUR/PIR product on the UK market.
These boards will continue to be available in thicknesses from 35 to 90 mm.
Exploiting Celotex' unique ability to deliver very thin boards, will be our new Celotex T-BreakTM TB3000 range, with similar characteristics to our tuff-R range, but with unreinforced core foam and thicknesses ranging from 12 to 30 mm.
The T-Break name highlights the fact that these boards, though too thin to meet Approved Document L requirements over large areas, will provide simple solutions to overcome localised thermal bridges.
Celotex Extra-RTM XR3000 is new to the Celotex range, manufactured on our latest state-of-the-art restrained rise production line, and features our own unique jointless laydown technology.
This technology enables us to offer boards up to 150mm with no visible seams in the triple stream foam laydown.
This product will be targeted at "cut-to-fit" applications for installation between rafters or joists to enable lower u-values to be achieved.
Our flat roofing range, comprising Celotex Energy-LokTM EL3, with coated glassfibre tissue facings for fully adhered membranes, and Celotex TempchekTM TA3, with foil facings for mechanically fixed and ballasted single-ply systems, will both be extended with the addition of tapered versions to satisfy market demand for cut-to-falls roofing systems.
Tapered boards will be available from 2040 mm thickness up to 80100 mm.
Both the tapered and flat roofboard ranges feature the unique jointless laydown system developed in-house by Celotex for its new restrained rise plant.
A complete new suite of product literature will be available in PDF form for download from the Celotex web-site from the beginning of April and in print a week later.
Celotex is already planning further new product introductions later in 2006, details of which will be announced in due course. Request a free brochure from Celotex ...
