Provide insulation for UK government program to
upgrade insulation in public housing apartment units.
The insulation needed to improve the units’ U-values
to save energy and reduce carbon emissions.
The insulation also needed to be thin to minimize
encroachment on living space in small rooms.
Other requirements included water resistance, noise
abatement, breathability, and easy installation.
The Proctor Group developed a double layer of
Spaceloft
®
9251
laminated to a building facing board.
The insulation panel met the functional requirements with a total thickness of only 30 mm.
Panels were easy to install, simply screwed onto the existing wall with no framing needed.
The Spaceloft solution cost-effectively met all energy targets. (Details on back.)
The Spaceloft solution was three times thinner than the nearest installed competitive solution due to
framing requirments.
Installation was 50% faster than the nearest competitive solution.
Overall, Spaceloft was the best space/cost solution.
