Solid wall insulation- by UK Damp & Decay Control 0800 028 1903

Most of the houses that we survey were built in the late 19th century or early 20th century and are constructed with solid walls and therefore it is not possible to install any cavity wall insulation. Previously it was very difficult to save heat loss through walls and with energy prices rising all the time, the amount we pay for gas and electricity is a big concern for most homeowners. With summer now well and truly out of the way and the onset of dark mornings most of us have to turn on the heating. A lot of us are very aware on how much money we are literally burning to make our houses warmer and will reduce the thermostat a notch or two to maintain the room temperature at a slightly lower level while still retaining a degree of comfort. To offset the cooler indoor temperature I often wear a woollen jumper in the house and find that this keeps me nice and warm. So if we can keep ourselves warm by putting on a extra layer of clothing we can also keep our houses warmer by adding a extra layer of insulating render either internally or externally and UK Damp & Decay Control are now offering a practical solution to heat loss through walls with an award winning thermal insulating plaster which as well as reducing heat loss also prevents damp and condensation on internal walls.

UK Damp & Decay Control Insulating Plaster has unique insulating properties, which reduces the amount of heat lost through walls. It is one of the most effective ways to insulate your home/building today and is suitable for both interior and exterior use.

UK Damp & Decay Control Insulating Plaster will help save a considerable amount of money on those ever increasing energy bills by preventing that costly heat escaping from your home or building. UK Damp & Decay Control Insulating Plaster is up to 70% more energy-efficient than any ordinary plaster or render and reduces carbon emissions making it one of the most environmentally building products in use today.

UK Damp & Decay Control Insulating Plaster is manufactured by Walltransform and has British Board of Agrément Certificate Quality Assurance for both damp-proofing and thermal insulation. If you are having damp-proofing work done on your house then instead of replacing plaster with normal sand/cement renders you should consider using Walltransform insulating/damp-proofing plaster which has many benefits over normal renders. For more details about this unique product and also calculations on heat loss reduction/money savings please see the Wall transform website at www.walltransform.co.uk

UK Damp & Decay Control Insulating Plaster improves the thermal performance of a solid wall by adding a layer of insulation directly to the wall surface. The insulation is applied in the same way as an internal plaster or an external render and needs no additional skills to apply other than plastering / rendering ability and we are therefore happy to supply UK Damp & Decay Control Insulating Plaster to builders and plasterers throughout the country (please phone 07736 631527 for details). The plaster is usually can be applied as an internal base plaster and coated with an internal multifinish plaster skim to provide a smooth internal plaster surface for painting. It can also be applied as a weather-resistant external render when special coatings are painted onto the plastered surface. The low product density (83% less than ordinary plaster) leads to greatly reduced application times and increased structural building strength. For workability it is similar to applying any lightweight plaster such as Carlite Bonding.

Solid walled properties are notoriously difficult to treat when it comes to improving thermal performance. UK Damp & Decay Control Insulating Plaster provides a simple solution which can be applied by any competent plasterer. The insulation will improve the u-value of a solid wall from 2.1W/m²K to 1.0W/m²K with an application of 40mm thickness. The plaster is lightweight and the required thickness can be achieved in one or two coats. Thinner applications will still provide significant energy savings for the home owner.
