Spacetherm® - Ultra Thin Aerogel Insulation for Retrofit & Newbuild

Spacetherm WL (Wall Liner) is a laminate is intended 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.

Spacetherm WRB (window reveal board) is a high-performance laminate intended 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.

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.

Spacetherm Wallboard is a laminate which is intended 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.

Spacetherm Directfix is a laminate which is intended to be fixed directly to the wall. It consists of Spacetherm Aerogel insulation blanket bonded to plasterboard, with an additional 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).

Spacetherm Multi is a high-performance laminate intended 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 is a flexible, 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. 

Engineered for space-critical applications, the product offers low thermal conductivity, 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).

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 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.
