Celotex PIR insulation used in converted property

Celotex's GA4000 boards have been installed at Lewandowski Willcox Architects' converted Grade II listed property in Eton, in keeping with the company's environmentally conscious ethos.

The development of the building into a self-contained studio office was an opportunity for the company to model its ideal building.

Utilising the existing appearance of the property's two brick boundary walls to define the edge of the property and form the basis of the proposed structure, the office extension has been designed as a book end effect with the end walls supporting a lightweight roof.

With its proven high performance properties, Celotex GA4000 board was specified for wall and roof applications.

Providing highly efficient insulation, Celotex is an established brand that proves consistently popular with the nation's top architects and designers.

The foil faced polyisocyanurate (PIR) boards provide more insulation per mm than many other materials, including mineral wools.

This makes them suitable for space saving applications ensuring that structures have effective thermal envelopes.

Celotex boards are the first PIR boards to be awarded an A+ rating when compared to the BRE Green Guide 2008.

The boards are a proven means of reducing heating requiring and so minimising carbon emissions and protecting the environment.

The boards also have low Global Warming Potential and zero Ozone Depletion Potential, further demonstrating their environmental credentials.

1,000m2 of Celotex GA4000 were used to insulate the building's new steel framed structure.

Applied to both walls and roofing, it was easily installed by specialist contractors Woods Commercial, thanks to its superb workability.

Though exceptionally durable, it is very lightweight and easily cut on site.

Easily fitted in place owing to their rigidity, Celotex boards are a more convenient material than mineral wools or pumped-in insulation materials.
