Spray Applied Insulation

Spray Applied Insulation

Spray applied polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation products offer a unique combination of features and benefits that cannot be matched by any other insulation solution.

It is an extremely versatile and robust method of improving the insulation and energy efficiency of buildings.

Roofs, walls and floors, of domestic, industrial, commercial and agricultural buildings are all commonly insulated using internally applied sprayed applied PUR and PIR to the internal surfaces.

The work is carried out by experienced contractors who work to the BBA Accreditation scheme and to British Standard Codes of Practice.

The spray applied PUR or PIR insulation product gives a continuous layer of insulating foam which bonds onto any type of surface. It also has the benefit of being able to form itself to any shape or profile of surface meaning that it a very practical way of insulating all types of buildings.

Benefits of spray applied insulation (under roof-tile):

  • Well established technique;
  • BBA Approved;
  • Is one of the most thermally efficient of all commonly available insulant;
  • Achieves U-values required by Approved Document L1 and L2 and Scottish Technical Standards with minimal thickness;
  • Can eliminate cold bridging and condensation;
  • No fixings required;
  • Bonds tiles together, increasing resistance to wind and storms;
  • Ideal for loft conversations;
  • It is non-fibrous.

Benefits of spray applied insulation (pitched roof):

  • Is amongst the most thermally efficient of all commonly available insulants;
  • Can help to achieve U-values required by Approved Document L1 and L2 and Scottish Technical Standards with minimal thickness;
  • Can eliminate cold bridging and condensation;
  • No fixings required;
  • Can provide maximum headroom;
  • Is non-fibrous;
  • Is unaffected by air movement.

Benefits of spray applied insulation (floors):

  • Supports design loadings for dwelling units
  • BBA approved
  • Ideal between joists in timber floors
  • Suitable for supported, suspended or cast-in-place concrete floors
  • Minimises unwanted air filtration
  • Will not contribute to the development stages of a fire

Benefits of spray applied insulation (walls):

  • Excellent adhesion to all types of surface
  • Suitable for solid masonry walls
  • Class '0' systems available
  • Eliminates air leakage from buildings
  • Continuous, seamless surface eliminates cold bridging
  • Easily installed, ideal for retrofit projects
  • Lightweight, durable and versatile
  • BBA approved
