What insulation should I use for my walls?

If you find that your rooms are losing heat or not heating up as efficiently as they should be. Then you might benefit from wall insulation, yet depending on the type of walls will mean different types of insulation.

Therefore, we have created a list of the different products we offer and their benefits. Heat loss is though uninsulated walls and is accounted to 30% of heat loss. Meaning it is something worth investing in to help in the long run and ensuring less heat loss.

External Wall Insulation – Adhesive Fix

This is an easier and quicker way to add thermal heating to your building. Adding expandable polystyrene boards onto the outer surface will provide a cost effective way to keep the heat inside the building.

The expanded polystyrene is fitted to the exterior wall with two types of fittings, the first is an adhesive fixing and the second is a mushroom headed expanding mechanical fixing drilled and pin fixed into the wall.

 

Advantages

  • As it is fixing the expanded polystyrene to the outer surface, it is a faster approach to ensuring less heat loss.
  • It is a grade A+ green guide rating
  • Unaffected by the normal range of climate conditions
  • As it is lightweight, it makes it suitable for tall buildings

 

External Wall Insulation – Mechanical Fix

Just like the Adhesive fix, this wall insulation is an external solution, enabling the building to reduce the heat loss through external insulation up to 30%.

The expanded polystyrene fits onto the external wall by some UPVC holding track and shims fixed with drive screws onto the external wall. Therefore, once all the rails are fixed onto the walls, the expanded polystyrene will fit onto the rails ensuring a secure fit and insulated outer wall.

 

Advantages

  • As it is fixing the expanded polystyrene to the outer surface, it is a faster approach to ensuring less heat loss.
  • It is a grade A+ green guide rating
  • Unaffected by the normal range of climate conditions
  • As it is lightweight, it makes it suitable for tall buildings

 

 

 

Structural Insulation Panels

As the way construction is changing, we at S and B like to embrace new ideas, and this environmentally change is a great way to help the environment yet also keep a building well insulated. It is a brand new type of environmentally friendly, energy efficient, zero carbon housing.

Batons are placed, then S and B Lambdatherm EPS is placed between them and timber, ensuring the building is well insulated.

 

Advantages

  • The S and B EPS SIPS core panels offer a wide range of sizes in width, ensuring they can accommodate any required thickness
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Energy efficient zero carbon housing

 

Cavity Wall Insulation Partial Fill and Full Fill

This type of wall insulation is designed for use in masonry walls. The expanded polystyrene boards are supplied in a low thermal value material called Lambdatherm. Which ensure a good insulation level between the masonry block and the brick face.

 

Advantages

  • Simple to fix
  • As they are large boards it is a quick installation
  • Low thermal value material
