Insulation systems it installs

The company offers a wide range of insulation solutions, for both new homes and existing buildings:

• Cavity wall insulation using high-performance beads (bonded bead), injected into the wall cavity to reduce heat loss.
• Attic or loft insulation, aimed at thermal comfort and reducing heating and cooling demand.
• Spray foam insulation, which the company describes as the most popular product on the market due to its thermal values and air tightness; it is applied in new builds, retrofits and commercial uses.
• Air tightness solutions with membranes and tapes, mainly for new builds.
• Timber frame insulation, with a full design and installation service, including natural products such as Ecocel cellulose.
• Retrofit insulation, combining cavity and attic insulation as savings measures in existing homes.
• External wall insulation (EWI), with panels applied to the wall and a protective render finish against impact and weather.
