The denser products are intended for insulating areas with limited cavity space, such as cathedral ceilings.The foam webbing around the concrete-filled cores of blocks can provide easy access for insects and groundwater. Other polystyrene insulation materials similar to MEPS are expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS). Also, some building codes don't recognize sprayed foam insulation as a vapor barrier, so installation might require an additional vapor retarder. Radiant heat travels in a straight line away from any surface and heats anything solid that absorbs its energy.

Simply roll the insulation across the vertical timber joists, staples into place (using minimum 14mm staples), overlap the material by 50mm (leaving the overlaps untapped), tape and seal the perimeter of the product using ThermaWrap Foil Tape. To help prevent these problems, some manufacturers make insecticide-treated foam blocks and promote methods for waterproofing them. Polyurethane is a thermoset foam insulation material that contains a low-conductivity gas in its cells. Reflective foil, if installed correctly and facing an open air space, can also act as a radiant barrier.One major disadvantage of phenolic foam is that it can shrink up to 2% after curing, which makes it less popular today. Rockwool Sound Insulation Slab is made from stone wool, The non-directional fibre orientation and density means that sound waves are trapped, and vibrations dampened. Some types of facing can also act as an air barrier, radiant barrier, and/or vapor barrier and some even provide flame resistance.

Keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, this general purpose insulation can be used for almost any DIY application including roofs, walls, floors, motor homes, boats, cellars, the opportunities are massive. Batts with a special flame-resistant facing are available in various widths for basement walls and other places where the insulation will be left exposed. Open-cell foam cells are not as dense and are filled with air, which gives the insulation a spongy texture and a lower R-value. We know choosing the correct insulation is an integral part of the long-term success and energy efficiency of your project.To evaluate sprayed or blown-in types of insulation, measure the depth of the insulation and check for gaps in coverage. This material contains about 80% air by volume and has been commonly used in Europe since the late 1940s. The outer aluminium foil layers increase the overall thermal performance of the product, this is due to its high reflectiveness. Every sample pack contains a wide selection from our full range of insulation, as well as our handy information booklet. Rockwool Thermal Insulation Cavity Slab 32 is a full and partial fill stone wool slab designed for the thermal insulation of masonry cavity walls.

While closed-cell foam has a greater R-value and provides stronger resistance against moisture and air leakage, the material is also much denser and is more expensive. Can be used for refurbishments, conversions and DIY applications including walls, floors, roofs, lofts, garages, sheds, caravans, boats, pet homes and greenhouses. In addition, inspect insulation for a tight fit around building components that penetrate the insulation, such as electrical boxes. Lightweight and durable reflective aluminium foil insulation blanket which is space saving and usable all year round.
