A Guide To Insulating A Flat Roof Why Do We Need Flat Roof Insulation?   As heat rises, majority of the energy lost is usually through the roof. Flat roof insulation is a key tool that can boost the energy efficiency of a building while reducing fuel costs.   Flat roof insulation also offers your home further security from the unstable outdoor environment, including overheating in warmer climates and rain and snow in cooler regions.  Structures such as balconies, rooftop gardens and roof spaces used to capture solar energy are increasingly becoming more popular. This rising trend for practical roof spaces creates even more demand for flat roof insulation, assisting to enhance the area accessible on top of your building. Here's a diagram below to show you the components of a Flat Roof. Do I Need Flat Roof Insulation? A flat roof is identified as any roof that has a slope of less than 10 degrees. Flat roofs are fundamentally horizontal so they’re easy to identify. Thus, in ins

Ravatherm XPS X MK Ravatherm XPS X MK is a water flow reducing layer (WFRL) used in conjunction with Ravatherm XPS X 300 SL. A WFRL is a critical component of an inverted flat roof, minimising heat loss due to the rainwater cooling effect. This product is a polyethylene geotextile.

Ravatherm XPS X 300 SB Ravatherm XPS X 300 SB is a high-performance, multi-purpose extruded polystyrene (XPS) board for the thermal insulation of domestic and industrial floors, basement and/or cellar perimeter walls. Ravatherm XPS X 300 SB thermal insulation is manufactured by an extrusion process, which results in a homogeneous, closed-cell material structure, smooth surface skin (extrusion skin) and many favourable material characteristics. Ravatherm XPS X 300 SB extruded polystyrene thermal insulation can be used in a wide range of applications. It has a number of beneficial properties thanks to its homogeneous, closed-cell material structure: permanently high thermal insulation level negligible moisture uptake high strength and rigidity dimensional stability resistance to rot and deterioration simple and quick installation with only a small amount of waste. Ravatherm XPS X 300 SB is excellent for thermal insulation in domestic floors industrial floors cold storage floors special

How to install Celotex insulation boards What are Celotex insulation boards? The Celotex boards are a rigid foam insulation. Yellow in colour with a foil facing to each side. The Celotex insulated plasterboard come with a foil layer between the plasterboard and insulation. The insulated plasterboard also come with a tapered edge to allow for a quicker solution to the finishing enabling a tape and joint system to be used instead of traditional plastering.  When comparing Celotex boards to wool insulation, they tend to have much better heat retention properties; in comparison you have to use twice as much wool to reach the same levels of energy efficiency as the Celotex board. Where can Install Celotex Boards? A Celotex board is a compact material with insulation properties, which can be added to your roof, walls, ceilings or floor to help improve the energy efficiency of your property. The boards come in different thicknesses, and naturally when it comes to insulation, the thicker you g

A guide to keeping your house warm in winter  With winter just around the corner, our heating and energy bills tend to go up as we compensate for the temperature drops and the days get shorter. With that in mind, you could save a substantial amount of money that would usually go on your energy bill, simply by ensuring that your home is well insulated. This will ensure that as much heat as possible is retained within your home’s walls. So what’s the best way to go about this? Let’s explore a few options. Doors and windows Doors and windows provide one of the easiest ways for heat to escape your home, so one of the easiest ways to prevent this is to ensure that the frames of your windows and doors are sufficiently insulated, leaving no gaps or cracks in and around the frame. This can be achieved through the use of threshold seals and weatherstrips. Weatherstrips are flexible silicone which, when combined with an adhesive, can be installed around the door or window frame, ensuring a tight

  Insight into External Wall Insulation's    What is external wall insulation? External wall insulation is a type of insulation that is secured to the outside of your walls. Two layers of material are used, one to provide insulation, and another of mineral or synthetic render to protect from the weather and also provide the finishing look of your homes. How much heat is saved? We measure how much heat is saved via the use of the U- value, it measures how useful a material is as an insulator. The lower the U-value the better insulator the material is. Therefore lower U-values tell us that more heat is saved. The insulation properties of an External Wall Insulation is influenced by, The material used The thickness of the insulation used The thickness of your current walls How does it help with damp? Exterior wall insulation 's help decrease the amount of condensation taking place and shuts out any damp from taking place. Thus reducing problems with rust and decay also. How long
