Cavity Wall Insulation
|
Without a doubt more heat is lost through the walls
of our homes than in any other way. Government figures state, A
staggering 35% of our domestic heat is wasted through un-insulated
cavity walls, which means that we are consuming energy far in excess
of our needs.
New Building Regulations introduced by the Government
have called for an increase in the amount of insulation fitted in
all new homes, to make heating more efficient, more economical to
run and to help the world's natural resources. Soon we shall all
be expected to save energy by insulating our homes to a required
standard.

InstaFibre White Wool
This type is comprised of granulated glass wool fibres manufactured from
silica sand and treated with an inert water repellent during manufacture.
InstaFibre Rock Wool
Manufactured from Basalt volcanic rock, this type comprises granular rock
wool fibres treated with an inert water repellent during manufacture.
Its loose fibres are easily blown into the recesses of the cavity. It
is a well-established product offering excellent thermal resistance.
InstaFibre is a blown mineral wool, which once installed
in the cavity wall, forms an insulative barrier, which retains the heat
inside your home. It works by storing the heat in the inner wall and radiating
it back into the home - with the effect that you can turn down the heating
without losing out on comfort. It also maintains a constant temperature
throughout the home. One of the benefits of this is to eliminate condensation.
Draughts are also reduced as InstaFibre seals off the gap around badly
fitting door and window frames. In short, United Insulations makes your
home cheaper to run by cutting the cost of your heating, while
making it much more comfortable to live in.
Before any installation is carried out, a free survey
is conducted by one of our fully qualified surveyors who records all the
features of the property. He must pay special attention to air vents,
servicing gas appliances or suspended floors, which will need to be properly
sleeved to ensure that adequate ventilation is maintained.
Following the survey, InstaFibre is installed cleanly
and efficiently by our fully trained specialists.
To ensure a total fill of the cavity, the material is
blown through a predetermined drilling pattern of small holes, which are
made good with matching mortar after installation.
InstaFibre is also guaranteed for 25 years by the Cavity
Wall Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA), the government endorsed guarantee
scheme.
For many years InstaFibre has been used extensively by
the building and construction industry. The material is widely used to
insulate factories, offices, schools and local authority housing and is
specified by Housing Associations all over the country.
United Insulations has been approved and certified by
the British Board of Agrément (BBA), the watchdog for building
products. You can be assured that you will be getting the best materials
and workmanship that money can buy.
The fact that house builders, local authorities and construction
companies across the UK use InstaFibre is a testimony to the proven effectiveness
of the InstaFibre system. As quoted by the Agrément Certificate
for the material, "No failure of InstaFibre has been reported to
the British Board of Agrément". This unparalleled performance
means that you can have total confidence in the InstaFibre cavity wall
insulation system.
