Improve heating efficiency with Spacetherm®
The heating efficiency of a 1870s three floor semi-detached house in south east London is set to be dramatically improved as a result of the introduction of Spacetherm WL insulation. Property owner Sean Crawford explains, “It was only recently that I came across Spacetherm WL from the A. Proctor Group. The reasons that I chose to use Spacetherm WL are, that it is super thin and highly insulating. I won’t have to remove marble fireplaces, reinstate radiators, and window surrounds.“
Spacetherm WL is a high-performance laminate specifically designed to be fixed to the internal surfaces of existing solid walls without the need for mechanical fixings.

Plasterboard in itself is not suitable for bearing weight so, if the wall is intended for holding weight over 15kg then a structural material such as wood panels should be used behind the plasterboard to hold the weight. OSB is an engineered, wood-based panel made from flakes of wood mixed with a resin and then pressed. This method of manufacture means that the panel does not contain any defects of natural wood. Norbord manufactures SterlingOSB Zero StrongFix which is a panel designed
specifically for metal Cstud dry lining at 600mm centres. SterlingOSB Zero StrongFix is made from OSB3 and is suitable for structural use in conditions where some moisture is present.
