First multi foil insulation with BBA certificate
Web Dynamics announce that their product Thinsulex is the first multi foil insulation to carry a BBA certificate (06/4379)
Gary Gates, of the Earthwise Centre, said: "We are only displaying materials we are convinced can meet the requirements of sustainable building for the long term and Thinsulex is one of those".
"We want to help people understand the benefits of using these materials in timber-framed houses and that together they can make a warm, energy-efficient, cost-effective home.
"We have found Thinsulex fits in perfectly and we are using it on four new timber frame house builds".
Gary says the benefits of Thinsulex - manufactured by UK market leader Web Dynamics - speak for themselves.
Approved by the LABC and accepted by the NHBC, Thinsulex is a thin, flexible insulation which reflects infra-red radiation.
It stops air leakage by providing an air-tight vapour barrier and restricting air movement in its multi-foil layers.
With Home Information Packs (HIPs) a reality from 1st June, Web Dynamics is advising installers to improve their understanding of U and R values as the need for better insulated homes becomes increasingly important.
HIPs will include a mandatory Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) which is similar to those provided with domestic appliances and records the energy efficiency of a property.
The certificate will provide a rating of the property from A to G, where A is very efficient and G is very inefficient. Request a free brochure from Web Dynamics ...
