INSULATION

PIR insulation can play a major part in achieving amended Part L regulations, says Recticel. Its closed-cell structure means it doesn’t absorb water, allowing the thermal performance and reliability of the product to be retained over time. Moreover, with lambda values as low as 0.022 W/mK, PIR provides excellent performance in a slim, space-saving composition.

UFH

OneBoard from Continal

Underfloor

ENERGY BOOST

Boost R Hybrid Roof from Actis comes into its own as energy prices soar

An insulating breather membrane specifically designed for roofs is coming into its own as energy prices soar.

Boost R Hybrid Roof, part of the Actis Hybrid range, is proving extremely popular with specifiers and builders looking for an easy to use and thermally extremely effective way of eliminating condensation and preventing moisture entering the building.

The UKCA & CE marked product, aimed at the new build and refurb market and used on the cold side of roofs, is an evolution of Actis’ popular Boost R Hybrid. The two Boost R Hybrid products also have the highest thermal resistance of any insulating breather membrane on the market and are extremely cost competitive.

The roof variant contains four special features developed following customer feedback, which set it apart from its sister product, with the two changes making the most difference to the user experience being the addition of a lap and the inclusion of built in adhesive tape.

Boost R Hybrid Roof is easily distinguished from its sister product by its colour. The roof variant is black, while Boost R Hybrid Wall is silver. Additionally, Boost R Hybrid Roof comes in larger rolls which cover 15sqm.

The thermal efficiency of Actis Boost’R Hybrid Roof insulating breather membrane is coming into its own as energy prices soar.
