Introduction
The recent amendments and the future changes to the Building Regulations will ensure the rapid growth of External Insulation as the preffered solution for Low Energy and Passive Housing.
These changes are all the more relevant today as all new houses will be expected to reach the standards for passive Housing by 2016.
The Aerobord External Insulation System is a fully developed External Wall Insulation solution that offers optimum thermal performance against heat loss from the building fabric.
The system is based on specialist preaged expanded polystyrene panels which are manufactured specifically for external application.
The required thermal performances are calculated and designed into the system and the versatility this method allows for a range of thicknesses to achieve the required range wall U-values.
The Aerobord External Wall solution can provide considerably higher thermal performances than the minimum requirement aligned to in the current building regulations part L 2007.
The Aerobord External Insulation system offers the widest range of improved thermal performances for new build with passive and low energy targets easily achievable.
The system allow for comprehensive linear thermal bridging details which ensure the continuity of performance at potential weak points within the fabric.
Our Technical team will guide you through the process from design to completion with expert advice on your project.
We will also assist you through the Grant application process to allow you to avail of the best specification available for your project.
