Insulation was fitted between the structural timbers in the walls and ceilings, ensuring every gap was filled to eliminate any thermal bridging.

High Performance Insulation

 

As with most of our projects, we utilised Actis insulation in this build.

The performance, along with the speed and ease of installation, makes it ideal for our timber frame homes.

Insulation Installation

 

The Actis range of insulating products can achieve the highest u-value requirements with minimal thickness.

Actis panels are simple and quick to cut accurately, minimising waste and reducing installation time on site, which can be up to 30% quicker than using alternative insulation products.
