Ready to start thinking about insulation for your new build project?

Spray foam insulation is a versatile and efficient insulation system that provides many superior benefits when compared to more conventional insulating methods such as mineral wool, celotex and boarding.

Not only does spray foam insulation provide pretty unbeatable thermal performance, the speed and ease of installation means that labour time is often reduced by half as there is no time wasted cutting materials to size. Spray foam adheres directly to the curvature of the building design, creating an airtight blanket. 

The main benefits include but are not limited to:

  • Customisable R value reports: spray foam insulation can be applied at various depths to meet building regulations and provide different levels of insulation. Where as most traditional insulation comes with a pre-determined R Value thickness.
  • Structural reinforcement; by filling any gaps and reinforcing weak points, this can increase overall stability and racking strength of a building.
  • Noise Reduction: Sound transmission can often contribute to reducing unwanted noise pollution.
  • Moisture control: Open cell systems are breathable and vapour permeable, so the building will continue to breath as it should, whilst creating an airtight seal that will prevent unwanted moisture from outside, getting in.
  • Airtight seal: Fill gaps and cracks to eliminate unwanted draughts. Improving overall efficiency and comfort of the building.
  • Meet construction deadlines: Due to speed and ease of installation, along with reduced labour time, it’s great for ensuring project deadlines are met.
  • Longevity: Spray foam insulation is a maintenance free install that lasts the lifetime of the structure.

 

All of our spray foam insulation systems come with a BBA OR KIWA certificate along with a 25 year product warranty supplied by Huntsman Building Solutions

Overall spray foam can provide a comprehensive solution for insulation for both walls and roofs within new build designs and modular homes. Plus it could provide you with a valuable saving on both project installation costs and future energy bills once the home is occupied.
