also called U-Value. This value tells us a building's level of thermal insulation in relation to the percentage of energy that passes through it; if the resulting number is low we will have a well ...

Internal wall insulation of 75mm would bring the U-value to 0.35 (improving thermal performance by 80 per cent) There are products which are only 5-10mm thick and highly thermal, like Aerogel's ...

James Francis, Product Manager at ROCKWOOL UK, explains why specifiers need to look beyond a single metric when choosing insulation Historically, insulation choice has often been driven solely by ...

Internal load-bearing walls which penetrate the floor structure ... and on large floors with a low P/A ratio, only perimeter insulation may be necessary to achieve the required U-value. Other aspects ...

If you’re planning to redecorate, or fit a new kitchen or bathroom, it’s an ideal time to add internal insulation as it can be ... Currently, this means that solid walls should achieve an improved ...

One recent example is the ‘Friedenschule’ in the German town of Schweinfurt, where the U-value of the exterior walls sank by almost 75% thanks to a mineral-based interior insulation. Often-criticised ...

Thermal insulation requirements are becoming increasingly exacting, to reduce both energy costs and CO2 emissions.U-values of 0.6W ... This means that walls, floors and roofs can be thinner and the ...
