PIR boards, typically have thermal conductivities ranging from 0.022 W/m·K to 0.026 W/m·K, depending on factors such as facings and manufacturing processes. Impact on Required Thickness The required thickness to achieve a specific R-value depends on the thermal conductivity (λ) of the insulation material. Using the formula: Thickness=R×λ Applying this: For λ = 0.022 W/m·K: […]
Thermal Conductivity of Rockwool Products:- ThermalRock S Series: S40 (Density: 40 kg/m³): λ = 0.037 W/m·K S50 (Density: 50 kg/m³): λ = 0.036 W/m·K S60 to S100 (Densities: 60-100 kg/m³): λ = 0.036 W/m·K Thermal Insulation Roll: Density: Not specified Thermal Conductivity: λ = 0.044 W/m·K source rockwool.com Calculating Required Thickness to Match ThermaCote’s R-Value: […]
The UK’s recent social housing reforms mark a significant shift towards more stringent energy efficiency and sustainability standards in social housing. With an emphasis on improving living conditions, reducing environmental impact, and addressing fuel poverty, housing providers face new challenges. These reforms are especially focused on enhancing the energy performance of older buildings, many of […]
Let’s compare ThermaCote applied at a thickness of 1 mm to a traditional insulation material that is typically 100 mm (10 cm) thick, which is a common thickness for fibreglass, foam panels, or other conventional insulation in walls. To calculate how much thinner ThermaCote is, we can use the formula: So, a 1 mm layer […]
Architects should consider recommending ThermaCote for several compelling reasons: Energy Efficiency: ThermaCote’s thermal barrier properties help improve a building’s energy efficiency by reflecting heat away in the summer and retaining heat during the winter. This can lead to significant reductions in heating and cooling costs, aligning with the increasing emphasis on energy-efficient building design. Sustainability: […]
ThermaCote is important to providers of student accommodation primarily due to its energy efficiency and cost-saving benefits. Here’s why: Energy Efficiency: ThermaCote is a thermal barrier coating that helps to regulate indoor temperatures by reflecting heat. This means that during hot weather, it can reduce the amount of heat entering the building, and during cold […]
