"This is a really user-friendly solution that offers much improved performance and we are looking forward to demonstrating the benefits to the building industry." Jablo fulfill is a moulded expanded polystyrene board with fluted face and tongued and grooved edge, which fully interlocks to provide a robust fit on all four sides.
The product achieves a Lambda value of 0.030 W/mK, which offers building designers a very efficient way to meet the regulations, whilst retaining an open cavity wall construction.
Available in two standard thicknesses: 75mm and 100mm to suit individual requirements, Jablo fulfilL is instantly recognisable by its grey and orange speckled colouration.
The sophisticated design of the board means the outer flutes direct moisture down the exterior face of the insulation, ensuring that damp does not become a problem.
The tongue and groove jointing also means that moisture cannot pass between the edges of panels onto the internal wall.
With the increasing pressures to create buildings that meet thermal performance and sustainability requirements, Jablo fulfill is the perfect choice for housebuilders looking for simple and effective way to meet Building Regulations.
Jablo fulfill is part of a complete range of energy efficient solutions developed for the construction industry by Vencel Resil.
Expanded polystyrene is 100 percent recyclable, as well as HCFC-free and non-toxic.
