Insulation...
Regency Construction under takes the following insulation works:
- Internal wall insulation
- External wall insulation
- Loft insulation
- Roof insulation
Introduction to Insulation
Insulation
will help stop heat being
lost from your building and help to prevent condensation forming on the
walls and ceilings. The installation of insulation could reduce your
heating bill and reduce your CO 2 emissions.
Internal
Wall Insulation
There are two methods of insulating internal walls.
The first method uses a specially designed plasterboard which has
insulation material bonded to it. These insulated boards can be
attached to the wall using the drylining method or using wooden
battens. The thicker the board the better the insulation.
According to Government calculations , insulating the internal walls of
a three bedroom semi-detached house insulation could save energy
of of around £380 per year and reduce CO2 emissions
by 2
Tonnes, compared to cavity wall insulation which would save
£115.
External
Wall Insulation
Walls of a building can also be insulated from the outside.
One method is the Insulated Render system. Sheets of insulation are
attached to the building using either mechanical fittings or adhesive
and then coats of render are applied over the insulation to produce a
finish.

An alternative to Insulated Render is Cladding. In its simplest form
timber battens are attached to the existing wall and the area between
the battens is insulated. The battens can then be clad with a variety
of materials including timber boards, timber shingles, masonry tiles
and slate.

/tile cladding design by Greenspec.
Floor
Insulation
The thermal insulation properties of an existing concrete slab can be
increased by incorporating a layer of insulation above the slab and
then concealed with a new floor finish. The new floor covering could be:
- Sand and cement screed (also see screeding) - ideal for ceramic tiling and vinyl coverings
- Chipboard - for carpeting and laminate flooring
- Solid floor boards - for a natural finish

Roof Insulation - Loft Conversions
If the roof space of a building is to be inhabited (e.g. loft
conversion) then the roof will need to be insulated. This can be
achieved by inserting insulation between and over the rafters and
covering the insulation with plasterboard. The exact roof insulation
design will depend on the design of the existing roof.

Loft
Insulation
It is estimated that in an un-insulated building 25% of heat is lost
through the roof. Insulating the loft is a simple and effective way to
reduce heating bills. Insulating the loft yourself can be a unpleasant
job and if not done correctly can cause problems with condensation.
