Manchester housing provider picks ISO-THERM insulation to upgrade older stock
One of the leading providers of aff ordable housing in the North-West has begun utilising slimline and waterproof Isotherm insulation, recently introduced to the Wykamol range, to help address issues of condensation and mould growth in some of its older properties, with the manufacturer present at the fi rst installation to help train the customer’s staff . Speaking about the landlord’s reasons for utilising the Wykamol product, the Contract Manager for reactive repairs WCHG, Pete Leonard, added: “We have used Wykamol for a number of years and are always looking for new products that can help us make our homes more energy effi cient and minimize disturbance for our customers. T is product is easy to use, cuts down on waste also reduces manual handling. We look forward to seeing the long term benefi ts in the future.” ISO-THERM is an ultra-thin – approximately 4mm thick – specially woven polyester-based material which, due to its fl exibility and ease of use, can quickly be cut around light switches, sockets, radiator brackets, architraves, skirting boards and even complex shaped decorative mouldings. T is therefore avoids the disruption and cost of employing additional trades such as electricians, plumbers or carpenters. T e ISO-THERM membrane is secured to the brick or block substrate with Wykamol’s unique ISO- THERM Adhesive. T e ISO-THERM material is both waterproof and vapour permeable.

When creating a wet room, tanking may seem like a less inspiring functional necessity but underestimate its importance at your peril. Leaks from a poorly tanked wet room or walk-in shower can result in unpleasant odours and ugly marks. In more severe cases, the resultant damp and fl ooding can present serious health risks and even undermine the structural integrity of a property. To help the trade tank wet rooms with exceptional speed and effi ciency as well as with maximum peace of mind, Bond It has the solution – its high performance tanking slurry. Once applied, Bond It tanking slurry is fully eff ective aſt er just two coats.
