Frame Wise Ltd always tries to offer an excellent selection of cutting edge insulation materials. Coupled with one of our ‘intelligent’ vapour control layers we can deliver outstanding U-values and air-tightness.
Our choice of insulation is not limited to the selection below. Please call us to find out more if you have an alternative choice of insulation for your project.
Insulation
Rigid Urethane with Foil Facings
-
Excellent Thermal Efficiency - Lower U-Values can be achieved with thinner walls.
-
Factory fitted option available - reducing time on site.
-
Manufactured less than 10 miles from Frame Wise Ltd - this reduces emissions from transportation.
-
Manufacturing process produces no CFCs or HCFCs, this gives it a zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential)
Mineral Wool (Glass or Stone)
-
Glass wool is made from silica - one of the earth’s most abundant materials
-
Rock wool is made from volcanic rock
-
80% of the glass in glass wool is recycled from post consumer waste
-
The structure of the wool allows the rolls to be highly compressed when packaged, reducing the amount of transport required
-
Manufacturing process produces no CFCs or HCFCs, this gives it a zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential)
-
They both have a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of less than 5
-
They also have a Fire Rating of A1 - The best that can be awarded
Sheep Wool, Hemp or Wood Fibre
-
Natural products that are both sustainable and renewable
-
They are manufactured into standard sized rolls to help installation
-
They are all safe to handle without specialist safety equipment, this makes them easy to install
-
They are all breathable and will naturally regulate moisture and temperature
-
They have a zero GWP (Global Warming Potential)
Recycled Paper
-
Made from recycled newspapers and as a result requires very little energy to produce
-
Installed by spraying onto walls or into cavities, this method reduces the potential for gaps and will provide excellent air-tightness
-
Recycled paper contains added salts to give fire resistant
-
Recycled Paper has a zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential)
-
Recycled Paper has a negative GWP (Global Warming Potential)
