Frequently asked questions
We offer a variety of insulation fixings, including pins, clips and hangers. The right choice depends on factors like the insulation material and the surface it will be applied to. Contact us for guidance on the best choices.
Yes, soundproof boards are designed for use on both walls and ceilings to enhance acoustic insulation. They are effective in reducing sound transmission and improving overall sound quality in a space.
Yes, we offer insulation fixings specifically designed for securing insulation to metal surfaces. These fixings are tailored to provide a secure and durable attachment.
We supply a range of adhesives and sealants suitable for various insulation materials. The options you choose depend on factors such as the type of insulation and the surfaces being bonded or sealed.
While many insulation tapes are versatile and suitable for both internal and external use, it's essential to choose tapes designed for the specific conditions and materials in your project.
Insulation Fixings
Insulation fixings such as impaling clips, plastic support pins and broadback washers securely fasten insulation layers, while other mechanical fixings grip batts and panels tightly to wall and roof framing, resisting natural material settlement over time.
Properly-fixed insulation provides far greater effective R-value than loose materials alone. improving thermal resistance by over 20%. Tight envelope fixation similarly boosts effective R-values for exterior insulated finish systems. When insulation settles or pulls away at ceiling and wall cavities, microscopic gaps form which allow particle infiltration including allergens and irritants. Securely pinned insulation retains tight perimeter seals keeping insulation envelopes impenetrable to particles. This helps maintain healthy, comfortable interior spaces.
Insulation Tapes
Unlike ordinary household tapes, insulation tapes can withstand extreme temperatures, moisture and UV exposure. They prevent heat loss by providing an airtight, long-lasting bond between insulation materials. There are various types of insulation tapes designed for different applications and insulation materials like fibreglass, mineral wool and rigid foam boards.
Properly sealing insulation with specialised tapes improves energy efficiency and thermal performance. Air leakage accounts for up to 40% of heating energy loss in buildings. Insulation tapes act as an air barrier to plug gaps where convection and airflow occur. Tapes also provide long-term durability compared to some sealants which can degrade over time.
Adhesives & Sealants
Insulation adhesives and sealants serve a vital role in creating airtight, high-performing insulation envelopes. Specially engineered for insulation bonding, these products provide robust adhesion across various materials including fibreglass, rigid foam boards and duct liners.
Compared to mechanical fasteners, insulation adhesives provide a seamless bond without gaps that compromise thermal performance. Formula innovations like aerospace-grade acrylics and hybrid polymer blends create durable, flexible seals able to handle extreme weather while resisting moisture absorption. This prevents condensation issues which can lead to mould growth within walls.
Soundproof Mats
For easy sound dampening between floors, soundproof mats offer a simple solution. These lightweight, roll-out mats add a vital extra layer to hard flooring materials like wood, laminate flooring, and tiles. These floor types can generate excessive noise as footsteps transfer impact noise to rooms below.
Manufactured using recycled rubber or polyurethane layered over moisture-resistant films, soundproof mats are durable, thin pads optimal for use beneath floating floors. They work by absorbing vibrations and isolating floor layers to reduce footfall noise transmission below. Mats are conveniently rolled out to seamlessly cover entire floor spaces with minimal installation work required.
