38 HEATING, VENTILATION & SERVICES; INSULATION; INTERIORS Solid floor refurbishment research released
Kingspan Insulation has published a new white paper assessing how different floor insulation specifi- cations can impact cost and floor-to-ceiling height in home refurbishments. The report is based on research from leading consultants — Currie & Brown. It shows that Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard can provide a cost-effective option for insulating solid floors without reducing headroom. The research looked at Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard,
which has the lowest thermal conductivity of any commonly used insula- tion (0.018 W/m·K), and expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation with a thermal conductivity of 0.038 W/m·K.

www.kingspaninsulation.co.uk Energy consultant selects Thermoblock
When the founder of the Complete Energy Consultancy set about designing a brand new home for himself and his family, he identified Marmox Thermoblock as the ideal means of tackling thermal bridging around the floor/wall junction of the near-to-zero carbon construc-
tion solution. Richard Britten commented: “Although I hadn’t used Marmox Thermoblocks before, they are the ideal solution for tackling cold-bridging around the perimeter and where the internal block walls sit on the beam- and-block floors.” Each length of Thermoblock is comprised of ultra-high performance XPS insulation, encapsulating miniature columns of concrete, while the top and bottom are covered by alkali resistant glass-fibre mesh, retaining a surface of fibre reinforced polymer concrete to facilitate bonding.

Norcros Adhesives offers a wide range of tile adhesives and surface preparation products for the fast-growing housebuilding sector. Norcros Adhesives has demonstrated that its products are able to meet the most demanding goals, which is why the company now has an exclusive arrangement with Barratt Homes – the UK’s number one housebuilder – on its entire range of tile adhesives. Norcros Pro-Gyp Base Fast Track Sealer allows fast track fixing to anhydrite screeds. This product is a system solution which enables tiling to be carried out on to anhydrite screeds at a much higher humidity level (95 per cent) than the standard requirement of 75 per cent RH, which can generally be achieved within seven days of laying the screed instead of the standard minimum requirement of 60 days for a 50mm thick screed. As part of its one-stop shop to cover all stages of the flooring or tiling process in house construction, the full range of levellers from Norcros Adhesives includes products for different applications. Norcros Pro 30 Fast Track Eco Levelling Compound is the newest addition to the range and contains recycled crushed glass, replacing quarried sand. It is suitable for a large number of different substrates.
