Walls Solid wall insulation
The ongoing issue of hard-to-treat walls in the UK can be overcome using Spacetherm - an ultra-thin insulation for thermal upgrades saving valuable space without altering the exterior fabric of the building.
One project that benefitted from this ultra-thin insulation was at 20 Follet Street, Tower Hamlets, London. Using innovative technologies the solid wall Victorian House in a Conservation area was upgraded with an 80% carbon emission reduction. The historic nature and context of the house, its position fronting directly onto the street and the proximity of adjacent buildings have played a key part in the selection of material and renewable technologies. This retrofit solution enables the resident to remain in occupation of the house.
Whole house modelling was undertaken using SAP in conjunction with extended SAP worksheet. AutoCAD produced plans and elevations were used to assist with visualisation and detailed design.
The A. Proctor Group Ltd supplied Spacetherm P (Spacetherm insulation bonded to Plasterboard) to this project where it was installed in the exposed walls to give a U-value of 0.23W/m2K. Spacetherm can be supplied on its own and cut to size or laminated to a number of facings to suit your

Arresting acoustics at old Police Station
SRS Ltd’s Sonata panels have been used in a recent project to control the acoustics in a large, open hall.
The Old Police Station in Keighley has recently undergone a full refurb that has turned the bottom floor of the building into a museum documenting the changing nature of policing over the years along with a cafe. Part of the refurb included the creation of an events hall on the first floor, for use by Keighley council. The hall in question had a particularly bad echo and reverbera- tion problem due to the number of hard, acoustically reflective surfaces within the room.
