Walltite spray foam insulation reduces CO2

VIDEO shows how Walltite cavity wall and spray foam insulation from BASF Polyurethane UK, can be applied to internal walls and roofs to form an airtight thermal eco-efficient solution.

Walltite is a seamless spray system which can be applied to internal walls and roofs.

Once cured, it leaves a highly efficient form of insulation, resulting in as much as a 30 per cent decrease in thermal transmission and an airtight building envelope of low permeability.

No supplementary material is required to make the system thermally efficient.

A typical solid wall installation of 100mm in thickness can achieve a U-value of 0.24W/mk.

In roof applications, a thickness of 150mm will give a target U-value of 0.18W/mK, complying with the requirements for the new Part L1B of the building regulations.

By virtually eliminating air leakage, Walltite with its closed cell structure helps control the movement of vapour and moisture throughout the building, reducing the risk of condensation and mould.

Walltite also provides the specifier with complete design freedom as the spray foam adapts to the shape of the substrate providing an ideal solution for insulating buildings with awkward geometry.

The product is self-adhesive and stays fully bonded to the substrate, preventing any possible detachment, common with other types of insulation.

Walltite is installed by trained professionals approved by BASF in the UK and a number of spray foam contractors have graduated from the BASF Foam Masters Academy programme during 2010, providing nationwide installer coverage.

BASF Polyurethane UK can advise specifiers on how to use Walltite to meet and exceed new Part L building regulations using the thermally efficient, airtight spray foam insulant.
