What is Thermabead?

Easy on the Environment
Between one third and one half of the heat lost from a house is through the walls. Carbon Saver can reduce this by 70% - reducing bills and CO² emissions. It exceeds Part L April 2006 Building Regulations (designed to reduce energy consumption) when injected into a 100mm cavity.

Easy on Site
Carbon Saver is delivered on the day it is to be injected so there is no site storage required. Bricklayers don’t need to worry about fi tting boards which generally adds 6-12% to the time taken - they also have a clear cavity to ensure clean wall ties. Overall Carbon Saver reduces build and labour costs.

Easy on the Bottom Line
Carbon Saver is the most cost effective way of insulating walls. There’s no wastage, storage or time consuming boards. Insulating peaks is optional so a saving of 10-15% is possible if there is no living accomodation behind the peak. Ring us for a quote - you may be surprised! Quotes are also available off plan.

Easy all Round
Carbon Saver is installed through a small number of holes (typically half that of blown fi bre) prior to internal plasterwork. We make good all the holes which are completely invisible after plastering. Additionally the unfi lled cavity means the walls have longer to dry out before the insulation is injected.

Better Thermal Conductivity

Carbon Saver offers improved insulation performance over conventional insulation. Inbuilt infrared refl ectors virtually eliminate the effect of heat radiation. With a λ lambda value of just 0.033 W/mK, a 0.27 U value is readily achievable when building 100mm cavities. Carbon Saver ensures 100% cavity fill with no wastage. The most cost effective solution.

Better Thermal Conductivity

Carbon Saver’s performance allows for the option of minimal wall thicknesses utilising materials that are traditional including dense block. Figures shown are for outer skin of facing brick with dense block as the inner skin.

The advantages of Carbon Saver.

High Performance
Achieve u values of 0.27 or better with a 100mm cavity. Meet and exceed Part L April 2006 without changing construction methods. No cold spots above doors & windows where DPC prevent boards being fi tted. No reduction in performance from moisture retention as in many existing systems.

Low Cost
No need to fi ll gable ends. No wastage. No storage costs or loss through theft.

No Hassle
Bricklayers are left to do their primary job. No disputes from fi tting boards. Faster building programme . No worries about water penetration from poorly fi tted boards. No liability for any failure of insulation - fully guaranteed.

Simple Application
Below is a typical drilling plan for a detached property. 22mm holes are drilled in the internal skin prior to plastering. All holes are made good and are completely invisible once fi nal fi nish is applied. The holes are normally not more than 0.6m horizontally apart and the top row of holes in each wall is not more than 200mm from the top of the wall. Alternatively, a series of holes are drilled approximately 0.6m apart and 200mm above the highest ceiling level.

Better Performance

Improved performance means that all the common construction methods can continue to be used without alteration. With heating costs rocketing, studies have shown that energy savings of more than 50% can easily be achieved through thermal insulation. Part L April 2006 demands thermal insulation performance which will require a choice between alternative construction methods or superior insulating materials. Carbon Saver delivers greatly improved results while minimising cost. Carbon Saver is the right solution for current and future energy effi ciency requirements.
