We\u2019re delighted that Thermal\u00a0Economics\u00a0Alreflex\u00a0Full\u00a0Fill<\/a>\u00a0has been shortlisted for Energy\u00a0Saving\u00a0Product of\u00a0the\u00a0Year in the\u00a0CIBS<\/a>E Building\u00a0Performance Awards 2018! Alreflex\u00a0Full\u00a0Fill is a new product to our range of masonry cavity wall insulation, specifically designed as a solution for dense blockwork inner-leaves.\u00a0 Alreflex Full Fill has been tested by the BBA, and is accepted by the NHBC as a full-fill cavity insulation board.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the construction industry is accelerating to build more and more housing, demand for high-performing, autoclaved aerated blocks has outstripped supply and many builders are using heavier, dense aggregate concrete blocks instead.\u00a0 In traditional masonry cavity construction, the higher thermal conductivity of the dense blocks means that a thicker insulation board is needed to comply with Part L of the Building Regulations; which also means wider cavities and increased costs.\u00a0 However, 90\u00a0mm\u00a0Alreflex\u00a0Full\u00a0Fill can be installed in a standard 100\u00a0mm\u00a0cavity with a U\u2011value of 0.28\u00a0W\u2219m\u20112<\/sup>\u2219K\u20111<\/sup>\u00a0(or 0.22 W\u2219m\u20112<\/sup>\u2219K\u20111<\/sup>\u00a0with block at 0.11 W\u2219m\u20111<\/sup>\u2219K\u20111<\/sup>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reflective foil technology<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alreflex Full Fill is an enhanced, expanded polystyrene board that uses our innovative, reflective foil technology to reduce radiated and conductive heat losses and provides a cavity rain barrier to prevent rainwater ingress; our new cavity wall insulation boards have a lower thermal conductivity than mineral wool insulation products, with an improvement in thermal resistance of nearly 50% (assuming thermal conductivity of 0.044\u00a0W\u2219m\u20111<\/sup>\u2219K\u20111<\/sup>\u00a0for mineral wool).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NHBC allows for a small air gap between the foil face of the Alreflex Full Fill cavity insulation board and the outer-leaf; which is cleaned of mortar snots during construction.\u00a0 A masonry cavity wall insulated with 90\u00a0mm\u00a0Alreflex\u00a0Full\u00a0Fill was subjected to an extensive testing regime by the BBA in Watford for resistance to rainwater penetration, after which it was found that no moisture had penetrated the cavity.\u00a0 This air gap also creates a super insulating layer with an equivalent thermal conductivity of 0.026\u00a0W\u2219m\u20111<\/sup>\u2219K\u20111<\/sup>\u00a0(Thermal conductivity of the Alreflex Full Fill cavity wall insulation board is 0.030\u00a0W\u2219m\u20111<\/sup>\u2219K\u20111<\/sup>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Good for the environment!<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like our partial-fill\u00a0Alreflex Platinum cavity wall insulation<\/a>, Alreflex Full Fill has a zero O-zone depletion level and a Global Warming Potential of less than five.\u00a0 Boards are manufactured to order, so that bespoke sizes can easily be accommodated and we reduce the impact of production on the environment as part of our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.\u00a0 Our expanded polystyrene boards are designed to last the lifetime of the building, and can be removed and re-used in other building projects upon deconstruction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alreflex Full Fill can be ordered from most builder\u2019s merchants and distributors, and is available throughout the United Kingdom.\u00a0 For more information please visit the\u00a0Alreflex Full Fill<\/a>\u00a0page on our website to download BBA certificates and technical data.<\/p>\n
