Spacetherm® - Ultra Thin Aerogel Insulation for Retrofit & Newbuild

The ongoing issue of hard – to – treat walls in the UK can be overcome utilising Spacetherm® – an ultra – thin insulation for thermal upgrades, saving valuable space without altering the exterior fabric of the building. Spacetherm can be supplied on its own and cut to size or laminated to a number of facings to suit your individual requirements. Its remarkable performance is achieved through the use of flexible aerogel blankets. The insulation used in Spacetherm is material derived from silica gel.

Spacetherm FAQs

Spacetherm Wall Liner

Spacetherm WL (Wall Liner) is a high performance laminate specifically designed to be fixed to internal surfaces of existing solid walls without the need for mechanical fixings. Spacetherm WL consists of 10mm Spacetherm aerogel insulation blanket bonded to 3mm Magnesium Oxide Board (MgO), for use in applications where improved thermal performance is required with limited space. Spacetherm WL can achieve similar performance to traditional plasterboard laminates, but at a fraction of the thickness, allowing specifiers greater flexibility and higher performance for refurbishment projects.

  • Thin insulation system for hard to treat walls.
  • Class leading performance.
  • Minimum loss of room space.
  • Allows wall to breathe
  • Constant long term thermal performance 50 years+.
  • Non-hazardous material.
  • Easy refurbishment
  • No specialist trades required

Spacetherm Window Reveal Board

Spacetherm WRB (window reveal board) is a high-performance laminate specifically designed to be fixed or glued to the existing solid wall at the window reveals. Spacetherm WRB consists of Spacetherm Aerogel insulation blanket bonded to plasterboard or magnesium board, with or without plywood reinforcement, depending on fixings. It is ideal for use in applications where low U-values are required but space is limited.

  • Ultra thin insulation system for window reveals
  • The best thermal performance available
  • Minimum loss of space around openings
  • Glued or direct fixed to solid walls
  • Constant long term thermal performance 50 years +
  • Includes an integrated vapour control layer
  • Can be used in partnership with traditional dry-lining
  • Non-hazardous material

Spacetherm Cold Bridge Strip

Spacetherm® CBS (Cold Bridge Strip) uses Spacetherm aerogel insulation encapsulated in polyethelene for use in the prevention of cold bridging through a component or element of a structure. Spacetherm CBS is an ideal specification when trying to reduce cold bridging in timber or steel frame structures. Upon request the Spacetherm CBS can be cut to a variety of widths to suit different applications.

  • Thin thermal bridge insulation ideal for timber or steel frame structures.
  • Fully encapsulated
  • Fast and easy to fix with adhesive backing
  • Non-hazardous material
  • The best thermal performance available
  • Constant long term thermal performance 50 years +
  • Available to any width, thickness or length

Spacetherm Wallboard

Spacetherm Wallboard is a high performance laminate which is specifically designed to be fixed to timber straps. It consists of Spacetherm Aerogel insulation blanket bonded to plasterboard, and is ideal for use in applications where low U-values are required but space is at a premium. Spacetherm Wallboard is supplied with foil faced plasterboard as standard to reduce condensation. Plain plasterboard is available on request. Spacetherm Wallboard lining boards can achieve similar performance to traditional plasterboard laminates, but at a fraction of the thickness, allowing specifiers greater flexibility and higher performance for refurbishment projects. Due to Spacetherm’s unique hydrophobic qualities it is also possible to directly fix Spacetherm Laminates to certain existing wall substrates (see installation guide for details). For other thicknesses, or for U-value calculations for your project, please contact Proctor Technical services.

  • Can be installed directly to solid walls or onto straps
  • Ideal for hard to treat solid walls
  • Ideal solution where maximising internal space is critical

Spacetherm Directfix

Spacetherm Directfix is a high performance laminate which is specifically designed to be fixed directly to the wall. It consists of Spacetherm Aerogel insulation blanket bonded to plasterboard, with an additonal pre-bonded plywood reinforcement to the plasterboard. This reinforced laminate will reduce the risk of shot-fired nails failing to create a robust fix and will also reduce the risk of drill bit snagging, should you be using a traditional mechanical fixing method.

Ideal for use in applications where low U-values are required but space is at a premium. Spacetherm Directfix is supplied with foil faced plasterboard as standard to reduce condensation. Plain plasterboard is available on request. Spacetherm Directfix lining boards can achieve similar performance to traditional plasterboard laminates, but at a fraction of the thickness, allowing specifiers greater flexibility and higher performance for refurbishment projects. Due to Spacetherm’s unique hydrophobic qualities it is also possible to directly fix Spacetherm Laminates to certain existing wall substrates (see installation guide for details).

  • Can be installed directly to solid walls or onto straps
  • Ideal for hard to treat solid walls
  • Ideal solution where maximising internal space is critical

Spacetherm Multi

Spacetherm Multi is a high-performance laminate specifically designed to be laid directly onto existing floors & walls. Spacetherm Multi consists of Spacetherm Aerogel insulation blanket bonded to a 6mm Magnesium Oxide Board. Spacetherm Aerogel blanket is available in various thickness from 5mm to 40mm (in multiples of 5). For other thicknesses, or for U-value calculations for your project, please contact Proctor Technical services.

The solution is ideal for use in applications where low U-values are required and room space is at a premium (such as loft conversions). Spacetherm Multi can achieve similar performance to other insulation systems, but at a fraction of the thickness. This allows specifiers greater flexibility and higher performance for refurbishment projects.

Spacetherm® A1

Spacetherm A1 is a flexible, high-performance, silica aerogel-based insulation material of limited combustibility used for exterior and interior applications. The product is used to optimise the thermal performance and fire properties of façade systems in a number of ways. These include enhancing the thermal performance of the ventilated façade, and addressing thermal bridging in the façade. Spacetherm A1 is also useful in minimising thermal bridges around windows in areas such as window reveals and roller shutter cases.

With a thermal conductivity of less than 0.02 W/mK, Spacetherm A1 performance credentials qualify it as one of the best insulation materials available worldwide. Engineered for space-critical applications, the product offers low thermal conductivity, superior compression strength, plus breathability allied to hydrophobic characteristics. Spacetherm A1 can be also be supplied in a variety of finishes, the substantial layers meeting the requirements for A1 classification (insulation, MgO and plasterboard).

  • Class leading reaction to fire classification from an Aerogel insulation
  • Superior thermal performance
  • Limited combustibility
  • Water vapour diffusion open
  • Permeable
  • Flexible
  • Thinnest aerogel insulation available

Wraptherm®

Wraptherm is a composite comprising 10mm Spacetherm Insulation blanket bonded to the face of Wraptite vapour permeable, airtight self-adhesive membrane. Use of Wraptherm provides improved airtightness levels combined with a reduction in thermal bridging. Wraptherm was developed for use in the refurbishment of existing buildings where there was a requirement to enhance both the thermal and airtightness performance of the building. Wraptherm can be applied to the internal face of the existing façade, providing a vapour neutral yet airtight layer, fully self-adhered to the substrate layer with the added benefit of a 10mm thick layer of high thermal performance Spacetherm insulation. Over this airtight/thermal composite framing can be installed with the cold bridging being reduced thanks to the Spacetherm layer. Additional thermal insulation can be included within the frame to meet the u values required for the refurbishment.

  • Single product airtightness and thermal bridging solution
  • Leading Airtightness performance
  • Reduces thermal bridging
  • Ideal for Refurbishment and Façade Retention projects
  • Water resistant yet vapour permeable membrane
  • Continuous airtightness seal
