Reduce Your Home's CO₂ Emissions

It is widely recognised that thermal insulation can play a key role in protecting the environment by reducing the carbon dioxide emissions from your home.

A ThermSeal application provides a highly efficient blanket of insulation with a thermal conductivity of 0.02W/mK. It is particularly cost-effective in terms of both the cost of application and the reduction of future energy consumption costs.

As part of its commitment to the 1997 Kyoto agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions, the British government is enacting an amendment to the Building Regulations with the aim of dramatically improving the energy efficiency of all new buildings - particularly in the use of insulation. This gives as clear a sign as any of the effectiveness improved insulation demonstrates in reducing CO2 emissions from the home.

What's more, recent studies indicate that rigid foam insulation is more effective at reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions than standard mineral fibre.

ThermSeal is fibre-free and It's closed-cell nature renders it very resistant to moisture ingress. Grades are available which achieve both Class '1' and Class '0' fire ratings when tested to BS476 Part 7 and Part 6.
