Hi Douglas, thanks for your query. You don't mention whereabout you are based in the UK as the thermal requirements so vary depending on whether you are in Scotland or England. Our literature has a table that will give you an idea of the general U values you can achieve based on a single skin 9in brick wall. The datasheet can be downloaded from here http://www.proctorgroup.com/products/thermal-insulation/spacetherm and generally we would recommend the Spacetherm PP or Spacetherm FP for a solid brick wall. As a guide for meeting around the 0.30 mark you would be looking at around 40-50mm of insulation which would then be bonded to 6mm ply and 9.5mm plasterboard.

I would be more than happy to look at this in more detail for you if you could email me directly with some more information as to your location etc. I can be contacted at pamela.howat@proctorgroup.com

Regards, Pamela

Hi Bob

Thanks for your post. We don't have a standard condensation risk analysis but if you want to email your roof construction to technical@proctorgroup.com then we would be more than happy to carry one out for your specific project.

Hi Colin

Many thanks for your question. You certainly would be able to run your pipework within the batten void then insulate over the face with the Spacetherm F. It would be a neater finish than surface mounting the pipework or using a box type skirting to conceal them. You might be advisable to lag them so you don't lose too much much heat from them being in a cold void.

Hope this helps

The film is very thin and will should add less than 1mm to the overall thickness. Unfortunately thickness wise we can't go less than 5mm of Spacetherm as that is the thinnest it is manufactured in.

Regarding the adhesive that looks like timber we couldn't comment on whether it was suitable or not or provide an adequate protection against fire for your panels. If you want to email me with info on it then I can have a more indepth look and advise.

Equally if you would like to see a sample of encapsulated Spacetherm then drop me a line via email with your address and I can arrange for it to be sent out to you. My email is pamela.howat@proctorgroup.com

Thanks, Graeme, that's reassuring.
Route master panels are held together with beading and little stainless steel screws.
I'll be out of reach til after the festive seasonbut I'll take up your offer of a chat then.
