BUILDING FABRIC & EXTERIORS


buildings are being


The way modern


constructed means they’re creating a demand for expanded foam insulation


modern buildings, and more glass and windows, insulation becomes even more important since the heat loss areas have been increased.


There are also various aspects to take into account when installing insulation in order to ensure you get it right first


time. The type of building, floor construction, and height allowance of the floor will all help to dictate which type of insulation to use.


It’s always advisable to use an UFH manufacturer that offers a free of charge consultation and full design


service prior to commencing any project. Some will further support this with aftersales technical support, should it ever be needed.
