Cavity Wall Insulation
Bonded Bead
Bonded Bead Cavity Wall Insulation is the pumping of a polystyrene bead together with an adhesive into the cavity of your home.
The cavity being the gap between the inside leaf and the exterior leaf.
The beads are pumped into the cavity until the cavity is completely full. Getting to every nook and cranny and forming an insulation mass that works for the lifetime of the building.

Spray Foam Insulation
Open Cell Foam
Open Cell Foam is typically used in house construction. A vent card is fitted then the foam is fitted to the vent cards.
The open cell foam together with a 50mm Air Gap between vent card and roofing felt removes moisture and allows the timber roof to breath. Open Cell Foam is mainly fitted to rafters/ sloping ceilings and is a great product for achieving your Air Tight requirements.
Closed Cell Foam
Closed Cell Foam is typically used in sheds, warehouses, industrial buildings and other metal structures.
Closed Cell Foam is an ideal solution where dampness and condensation is an issue.
It’s also a great solution for the extreme heat that can be created in these structures in the summer.

Ventilation
Common Ventilation Issues
There has been significant changes in building regulation, materials, house design and hot water capabilities in recent years. However, changes in Ventilation have been slow to follow.
People are struggling to find the correct balance between Air Tightness and Ventilation, resulting in:
Excessive cooling down of the house.
Not getting rid of the moisture inside the house.
Mould growth.
Poor Air Quality.
The Solution - Heat Recovery Ventilation
In our opinion Heat Recovery Ventilation is by far the best way of finding that balance.
The system design, position of the Machine, the type of Ducting used and the quality of the install is massively important to the performance of any system.
There are other options such as Control Demand Ventilation and Humidity sensitivity fans. Click the button below to chat to us further about the benefits of Heat Recovery Ventilation today.

The Journey Towards Air Tightness.
In recent years there has been a massive drive in the building industry towards Air Tightness. Having Low U-values is great, but having air and wind penetrating the building is not ideal. Basically a cold house and a heating system struggling to keep up of a windy day.
How Do We Solve This?

Air tight vapour control membrane to timber structure.
Air tight tape to windows and doors.
Sealing the blockwork.
