Energystore Superbead 33 and 35 are high density polystyrene bonded bead solutions to totally insulate a cavity wall constructed building. The expanded polystyrene bead is durable and will last the lifetime of the property. It will not settle or crack and will greatly improve the thermal efficiency of your home. Energystore will meet the new building regulation Part L.
Blowerproof is an airtight liquid membrane that is now BBA certified. It is used widely across Europe because of its ability to reach unrivalled levels of airtightness. Blowerproof is used to reach Passive Standard 0.6 AC/h in buildings but can reach 0.2 AC/h if required. The applications for Blowerproof include the wall to ceiling junctions on all floor levels along the outer skin of a building, window jambs and floor to wall junctions.
Air Tightness is a major issue in heat loss of a building. Air leakage through walls, and any openings including services reduces the efficiency of the construction substantially. Blowerproof seals the gaps around any penetrations with its spray on application. It’s a water based flexible polymer that’s applied at floor to wall and ceiling to wall connections. With its BBA certification and no VOC’S ,a safe installation is ensured. Dry’s in twenty four’s hours in normal conditions, ready for painting.
Sprayed on in two colours,white and drys the same colour or purple and drys black.

Fed up with the noisy neighbours? We have a solution for you with our latest soundproofing product from PhoneStar. Soundproofing exposed timber ceilings with PhoneStar acoustic insulation is a simple task and provides excellent results at reducing both airborne and impact sound.
Whether you are insulating an empty cavity or upgrading existing board insulation in the cavity, the bonded bead will significantly retain the hear generated in your home to last longer. In most cases the house is drilled from the outside at ceiling height on all levels and also under each window. The holes are 20mm in diameter (1 Inch) and are refilled with white sand and cement to match as closely as possible the original finish of the house. In homes where there is brick facing on the outer leaf the mortar joints are drilled to reduce the possibility of damage to the brick or drilled from the inside where appropriate.
The grey bonded bead is more efficient alternative and effective way of insulation a new construction allowing for a faster build program without compromising on quality. With the tried and tested drill pattern a total fill is guaranteed throughout the entire building. Energystore Superbead 33 and 35 will meet the new building regulations Part L . The house is insulated when all services are complete, including the meter box ducting, plumbing and any external electrical work which is going through the cavity; this ensures that no gap will be left unfilled.

Blowerproof Air tightness is a fundamental application required in a new build construction that will significantly reduce the annual heating costs of a home. Applied correctly the dramatic reduction in air infiltration into the building envelope allows the insulation to retain the core temperature of the building for longer.
Blowerpoof Air tightness is very effective in decreasing air leakage that attacks the homes temperature continuously. Some of advantages installing a blowerproof air tightness seal include; • Reduce the possibility of mould growth. • Reduce draughts and in turn increase the room temperature. • Improve heat retention when the heat is off. • Create a cosier environment to live in.
Potential problems areas of the building that need addressing include; • Electrical installations-Sockets Etc-always a avenue for air penetration. • Sills,Lintels,Reveals- One of the biggest problems areas. • Steel beams entering the cavity wall • Boiler vents breaching the cavity wall • Around external door frames • A side extension roof space attached to the main construction. In summary , there are numerous areas of risk in repelling air infiltration into any home or building. Air leakage may cause roof damage, warm air filtrating through the building can create moist air that creates an environment for condensation to linger and mould and fungi spores to develop. Good workmanship from all the trades is extremely important in complementing the Blowerproof air tightness installation. All involved must take an active part in the reduction of issues for the penetration of the outer seal been broken or damaged in any way. Complementing Blowerproof air tightness objective is an efficient ventilation system. Fresh warm air sent to all rooms, and cold stale air extracted on a continuous basis. This will allow the home to be cosier and more comfortable to live in.
