When it comes to the best insulation for walls the insulation material can also impact the r values needed for good energy efficiency.
Full fill wall insulation.
The mineral wool insulation full fill cavity batts critically prevent moisture transmission and maintain insulation for the long term.
The cavity wall is the most popular wall construction here in britain seeing widespread use in property construction from the 1920 s onwards in this blog we will explain full fill cavity wall insulation and the potential benefits of opting for a fully filled cavity.
The full fill cavity batts are lightweight and easy to handle making installation simple and providing a close fit against brick and blockwork whilst also adapting to imperfections in the cavity wall.
Full fill cavity wall insulation differs to partial wall in that the entire space of the cavity is filled with insulation without leaving an air gap.
Find out more the xi products have been developed to deliver the u value requirements to meet passive standards.
The thickness of insulation to be fitted is dictated by the cavity width typically 75mm or less.
Fiberglass is the most common insulation material.
Continuous wall insulation that delivers ultimate thermal performance with the added assurance of protection from wind driven rain.
Engineered jointing system for superior fit.
Kooltherm k108 cavity board.
If poorly fitted it won t be as effective.
Phenolic insulation with a low emissibity composite foil facer on one side and a water tight vapour open polypropylene fleece on the other.
Pir insulation with low emissivity.
Blown in mineral wool provides a full fill solution even if walls are built out of tolerance reducing the risk of unwanted heat loss.
Fibre free rigid polyisocyanurate pir insulation core with aluminium foil composite to both sides.
It s made from fine glass fibers and is most often used in batts rolls and loose fill insulation.
Phenolic insulationwith low emissivity composite foil facers.
Suitable for full fill cavity wall applications whilst maintaining a residual 10mm cavity helping resist moisture transfer aids installation and accommodate mortar squeeze.
Cavity fill insulation means you ll no longer have a void in the cavity to prevent moisture getting across to the inner leaf of the wall.
Installed by approved technicians with no need for product storage on site improving site efficiency and removing the risk of theft.
