The Problem: You own an old property with a solid floor, it’s not insulated or its badly insulated but for various reasons, excavation isn’t a realistic solution. You may literally be able to feel the cold and damp under your feet. What do you do?

The Answer? The solution is at hand. Enviroform Solutions have developed a flooring product called E-Therm Ultra which is the thinnest retrofit floor insulation product. It is also the highest performing floor insulation product around. Sounds nearly good to be true? Well it’s a fact. Read on.

Insulate Your Floor and Save On Your Heating Bill

It is a reality that many of our older homes will have ground floors made from either annulated or poorly insulated solid concrete. The fact is that in the past builders didn’t really think that floors were a gap in what we like to call the thermal cocooning of the home. But in fact floors can be a big problem.

Heat loss through a solid floor can cost you money and drastically reduce the energy efficiency of your home. The attendant problems of damp and cold can lead to problems of mould and structural issues.

With E-Therm Ultra we can treat these solid floors to increase comfort levels and to save you on your household fuel bills. We have designed it specifically for buildings where space is at a premium/

The Technical Details

The panel consists of a 3mm high impact layer bonded to 10mm Aerogel insulation layers and then wrapped in a highly durable and robust vapour control layer.

No special tools or precautions are required when fitting the panels and they can be cut to the required shapes and size.

Domestic furniture can placed on top of the E-Therm Ultra which is compatible with most floor finishes and under-floor heating systems. It is supplied in a pre-formed panel to allow for fast installation.

We recommend the use of using Instalay’s self-adhesive underlay, so carpets can be securely fitted without the need for glue and edge fixed carpet grippers. The high impact layer of the E-Therm Ultra’s panel provides protection for the insulation layer against point loadings like heavy furniture and bedding.

Can it be Used on Laminate & Floating Floors ?

 Yes. Floating floors can be laid on top of the E-Therm Ultra’s panels, and again for best results we recommend using a high quality underlay, preferably Instalay adhesively fitted floors perform better for a longer period of time.

And On Ceramic Tiles 

To install ceramic tiles on top of the E-Therm Ultra’s flooring a 6mm tile backer board must be used on top of the floor to provide a stable fixing layer for the tiles.

The 6mm tile backer board is installed by fixing plastic fixings through the E-Therm Ultra’s to eliminate deflection making sure that the joints of the E-Therm Ultra’s and the tile backer board don’t overlap.

Once this is complete the tiles can be installed using a flexible tile adhesive and grouted as normal to finish.

What About Skirting ?

E-Therm Ultra’s skirting has been developed for a scenario when there is no internal insulation on the external walls of the property.

If the E-Therm Ultra’s Aerogel flooring panel is being used with either external or cavity wall insulation then it is highly recommended that the Aerogel insulation is returned up the inside edge of the external wall to prevent cold bridging at the junction.

E-Therm Ultra is supplied as a two part product, one being the foil wrapped Aerogel and the other being the profiled softwood skirting. This upstand can be achieved by use of our E-Therm Ultra Skirting.

If the thought of insulating your floor gives you cold feet, call us now.

Enviroform’s Thermal Cocooning® is the installation of a total building insulation layer that has no gaps. If there is a single gap in your insulation, that will be your building’s Achilles Heel.

In Greek Mythology it was prophesied that Achilles would die young. To prevent his death, his mother Thetis took him to the river Styx. There she dipped his body in the river, cocooning his body in the sacred waters to make him immortal. Unfortunately for Achilles his mother held him by the heel and so that part of his body remained vulnerable.

Thermal Cocooning®

With Enviroform Solutions’ Thermal Cocooning® there is no Achilles Heel in your insulation. No part of the building is left to chance, and there are no Cold Bridges. When we install a Thermal Cocooning® solution on any building, we develop a solution that suits the age, condition and the construction material used in the building. These are all essential considerations in a thermal upgrade to your home. If the solution isn’t tailored to your building then that is your insulation Achilles Heel.

After an epic life as a warrior, Achilles died when a poison arrow fired by Paris struck him on his heel. It was the one vulnerable point not part of the protective cocoon. It is a salutary lesson.

Our final solution is based on an initial consultation from which we custom build a design, which not only keeps you warm but also protects the long-term safety of the building and it’s occupants. Many older buildings have to be understood and respected before adding insulation and possibly incurring adverse effects.

We start with a blank canvas and look at the component parts and from the wide array of our innovative solutions, we put forward what is best suited for your home. During this process we are in constant contact with all the stakeholders, guiding them through the decisions they have to make depending on different factors that are important to them, for example budget, breathability, character, space and so on. Once this is completed we present our findings, which often include a number of options, to help the homeowner decide which solutions best fits their requirements.

Why Are We Different?

Why are we different to other insulation manufacturers or insulation distributors? Quite simply we use different types of insulation for certain points but our attention to detail never changes. So if a certain insulation manufacturer does not have a solution to a particular point in a building, then this detail tends to be ignored. The Achilles Heel in their methodology in turn becomes the Achilles Heel in your building, leaving it vulnerable to damp, cold and deterioration due to mould or heat loss.

Over the past number of years we have researched and developed, a range innovative products, that provides us with a suite of solutions, when pieced together, allows us to achieve Thermal Cocooning® on our projects.

For all our customers, and us, it’s about the return on your investment. We all want maximum return when we invest time or money in a project don’t we? At Enviroform Solutions we want to provide you with a long-term safe investment that will continue for the lifetime of your building. Otherwise, like Achilles, all your good work can be undone when the vulnerability is exposed.

The Bonfield Review

Like other insulation specialists that are committed to giving our customers the right solution, at Enviroform Solutions, we are looking forward to publication of the eagerly awaited Bonfield Review into energy efficiency.

Given the volume of existing homes dating back decades in Britain, it is a critical report. With many homes throughout the country clearly energy inefficient, there is an underlying associated issue that means that many people living with poor insulation suffer health consequences.

With all the post Brexit talk about NHS funding and claims about what savings can be made, it is astonishing that according to the National Energy Action, around £1bn is spent on illness that can be directly linked to cold, damp and poorly insulated homes.

It is clear that this isn’t just a building problem, and it is also clear that one of the big issues around home insulation is clear information and guidance for homeowners on solutions that are building specific and that work for their home.

Energy Efficient Insulation

The Bonfield Review is a critical watershed for the energy efficiency and renewable energy industry. The Review was commissioned to take particular account of poor quality installations, and compliance issues. It marked official recognition that the future of the industry must be sustainable and it is due to focus on three key area in the installation of energy efficiency and renewable energy measures in existing buildings.

The three primary areas of focus in the report are upon consumer advice and protection i.e. what supports customer in their decision making; a standards framework to consider measures to ensure the right product is installed in the right way; and finally monitoring and enforcement to set in place arrangements for audit and compliance checking.

External Wall Insulation Installed Properly

For homes suffering from poor insulation it isn’t necessarily a case of adding more insulation to parts of walls but getting the right thermal bridge free solution for a 100% of the wall. Adding extra wall insulation isn’t a simple solution. Liam Brown explains:

“Basically contractors are adding external wall insulation above the damp proof course and leaving the edge of the floors in the house exposed. So for example if there were 150mm of snow then this would sit under the EWI in direct contact with the floor and bypassing all the insulation that has been installed.

“The analogy would be your legs and body are warm but your feet are freezing. This can cause damp related problems due to condensation around corners and skirting.”

Thermo Trac

Enviroform’s patented Thermo-Trac provides a clear technical solution. Thermo Trac delivers the thermal and aesthetic benefits for all External Wall insulation systems to now insulate below the plinth and create a thermal bridge free solution that the client and homeowners deserve.

Liam Brown explained: “There are over 200,000 installs already completed under ECO / GreenDeal and very few if any are insulated below DPM / Plinth. This is a recipe for trouble and doesn’t solve the problem of damp homes.”

Thermo Trac is a prefinished insulated base rail with an integrated damp proof membrane layer used for eliminating cold bridging below the DPM zone.

Simply bedded into a specially designed waterproof mortar, it can be efficiently installed and levelled from both the vertical and horizontal plain.

As a superior weather proofed and pre finished solution it offers faster installation and eliminates the risk of onsite damage.

Critically by installing Thermo Trac, there is no break in the External Wall Insulation. And as a solution it is easy to install ahead of the main insulation works, without using any scaffolding. It offers increased internal surface temperature thereby eliminating the problem of temperature differences that cause the damp problem.

Liam concluded “The solid wall insulation supply chain industry needs to up its game with better information, and a priority on educating the homeowner. We need to see the right insulation being applied for each building and strive for thermal bridge free design. Currently that isn’t the case and we’re all paying the bill.”

Reducing Emissions

Following the introduction of the Climate Change Act the UK’s clear target is to reduce its emissions by at least 80% from 1990 levels by 2050.

And with building regulations pushing developers and individual builders in the construction industry they are trying to meet stringent demands for carbon emissions on new houses. The fact is that four fifths of the building stock that will be in use in 2050 is already in place in the form of existing houses.

Insulating Existing Houses

This raises the issue for builders what do they do with existing buildings. How can they be improved and enhanced to comply with these standards. The BRE report by Colin King outlines the issue in detail:

Home owners and landlords are being encouraged and legislated upon to improve their properties and subsequently reduce the carbon emissions from the housing stock, ensuring that they play an important part in the fight against climate change and helping to alleviate fuel poverty.

Some of the most difficult buildings to tackle are those considered as historic homes.

The definition is not fixed but in reality this means the dwellings were probably constructed prior to 1930.

These have the difficult challenge of balancing cost and environmental impact but there are additional considerations centred on the aesthetic and cultural significance of the building and place, its context as part of the built heritage and crucially the potentially negative impacts on the dwelling fabric of making changes to it.

To improve the thermal performance of older homes in the UK with solid wall construction, it is logical to consider the performance of these external walls.

This can be achieved by introducing solid wall insulation applied either internally or externally.

The most common form of solid wall insulation in the UK is applied externally, as it is less disruptive to the residents and technically less challenging when compared to internal wall insulation.

Enviroform: One Size Doesn’t Fit

At Enviroform we know from direct experience that a “one size” solution does not fit all buildings. Different buildings have different walls and therefore require different solutions which we evaluate before offering a solution from our range of insulation materials. There are significant differences in the construction between older and newer buildings. The BRE report highlights the problem succinctly:

Unfortunately a one size fits all solution to SWI is therefore not appropriate and can result in underperformance and/or premature failure of the system or building components. Additionally historical buildings may be at greater risk of disrepair which also complicates the installation of SWI.

More modern construction methods rely on the creation of a cavity or the use of cementitious or impervious materials to provide protection from moisture ingress whereas in older buildings in their original state moisture penetrated the structure and then that moisture was allowed to evaporate and vacate the building through the chimney and other openings (air bricks, infiltration etc.). To allow this process to continue it is important that improvements or interventions that may alter or restrict the passage of the moisture receive careful assessment and consideration.

The BRE report is based on a desk-top review of specifications, interviews with scheme specifiers, surveyors and installers and site observations of the installation and handover process. The methodology included the following activities, with the sample size of properties being 1,800 properties in 27 locations across the whole of the UK.

• A review of the procurement process and tender specification compared with the actual works undertaken
• An analysis of the decision making process on site
• Categorisation and analysis of problems arising
• Use of thermographic camera
• Interviews with the residents of properties

Heat Loss In Homes

People may be surprised at the answer to this question. Windows, doors, areas of damp are the obvious. However an Independent Report carried out by Dundalk Institute of Technology has confirmed the heat loss through household electrical sockets installed in insulated plasterboards.

The report was commissioned by Enviroform Solutions from Warrenpoint, and researched, tested and evaluated by Dundalk Institute of Technology and funded with an innovation voucher from Enterprise Ireland.

The research study used thermal imaging cameras to evaluate the scale of the problem. It revealed that due to significant heat loss from sockets a purpose built product would be worth investing in to address this Gap in insulation.

Buildings Poorly Insulated

A large number of domestic dwellings in Ireland are not built to a particularly high standard. Many buildings are not airtight. This results in draughts, heat loss and ultimately that means waste of money and over consumption of household fuel to heat inefficient buildings.

Liam Brown of Enviroform Solutions explained: “The report backs up our assessment that many homes, including homes constructed in the last ten years leave a lot to be desired in terms of their insulation performance. This is costing homeowners serious money, hundreds and in some cases thousands of Euros a year in heat loss and wasted fuel costs.

“By concentrating on simple detailing and installing products to maximise the value of your install and by accumulating all of these measures you end up with an energy efficient house. Too many U Value calculations carried out by insulation companies ignore the fact that large parts of the insulation will be broken when installing electrical sockets but fail to take this into consideration in their designed U or heat loss values.

“No wonder there is the so called Performance Gap so widely talked about in the industry. For a simple exercise put you hand up to your socket or better to use a candle to see if there is heat loss through air leakage. Unfortunately if you have already installed insulated boards it is too late. ”

Socket Insulation Heat Loss Report Conclusions

The report states: “Energy losses, in the form of draughts, make up a significant part of the energy performance of a building. However, there is a lack of research in this area, which is concerning, for example, the energy performance of buildings, in general, is still nowhere near a high quality.

“Based on finding in the literature, there are a large number of domestic dwellings throughout Ireland not constructed to a particularly high standard. Moreover, this includes domestic dwellings constructed within the last decade.”

The study team used a thermal imaging camera to record the issue of air tightness in the building. – a domestic dwelling, with a floor area of approximately 390 m², which was constructed within the last 10 years.

“A number of thermal images were taken of electric wall plate assemblies throughout the building. This building has an insulated cavity (high density board 100 mm) and internal insulated plasterboard (30 mm). It can clearly be seen that there are significant energy losses through the electric wall plate assemblies.

“An assessment of the energy losses due to draughts within the building envelope was then conducted. These energy losses are significant in most cases. A best case/worst case scenario was then conducted. The results of the assessment concluded that a purpose built product to reduce these energy losses would be worth investing in.

“The Thermo-Soc demonstration apparatus was tested to verify functionality and operation. The testing procedure was outlined, describing the approach taken. A smoke test was conducted and observations were discussed. A thermal comparison was then conducted by varying the controlled environmental conditions for the Thermo-Soc and the non-insulated equivalent.

“The tests of the Thermo-Soc showed significant thermal performance improvement over conventional methods of installation.”

Enviroform Insulation in Central London Retrofit

Enviroform Solutions played a key role in the refurbishment process and upgrade of two historic properties to Enerphit standard in Passmore Street in Belgravia, Westminster, central London. Enerphit Standard is the Passive House Institutes benchmark for renovation.

The work was at the forefront of efforts by Grosvenor Great Britain and Ireland to reduce the carbon footprint across its extensive property portfolio. It is trying to reduce its carbon footprint by 38% and the Passmore street properties are the first in a series of planned refurbishments.

Passive House buildings maintain pleasant indoor temperatures year round with extremely low energy demands. Such buildings require careful design, thorough planning and meticulous execution.

Grosvenor have chosen the Passive House Standard because they believe it offers more practical benefits – it focuses on energy efficiency, building fabric and indoor air quality. The key target is to keep these buildings viable as residential or office accommodation for the next 300 years.

Aerogel Insulation

In completing the upgrade, the architect, Sturgis Carbon Profiling (SCP) specified Aerogel insulation supplied by Enviroform Solutions. The exterior façade of the historic properties had to be maintained so internal wall insulation was the only viable option.

This meant losing some of the internal floor area and with that, potentially a loss of rental income because of decreased space. This can amount to a significant sum over time. Aerogel being ultra thin and ultra light was the obvious solution to this issue.

Liam Brown of Enviroform Solutions explained: “Aerogel’s breathable qualities help reduce the risk of condensation. The exterior walls were rendered to prevent rain and moisture getting into the building fabric. The design also took account of thermal bridges – points in the building where cold structures penetrate the insulation layer and cause loss of heat and/or build up of moisture and condensation potentially leading to damp and mould.”

He continued: “ One of the lessons on embarking on this type of refurbishment is to source the right builder. A typical competitive tender would have resulted in a builder who would try and cut corners right until the death.’ And what is required in these projects is a patient approach that shows understanding of the subtle issues involved.”

Liam added: “The Passmore Street properties are now the first privately rented Enerphit projects in London. Potentially this is the way to proceed but there needs to be a lot more understanding of the issues involved amongst the building community. Property owners and consumers also need to understand the benefits of a passive house in terms of health and saving costs.”

“There will be a premium to pay in adopting this approach – the initial costs on these research retrofits were indeed more expensive that typical whole building upgrades.”

“The aim would be to get that premium down to around 5% and then recover that cost and more over the life of the building through savings in heat and eliminating problems caused by damp and mould. The refurbished buildings will see a reduction in the amount of their CO2 emissions over a 60 year life cycle.”

He concluded: “The evidence is there to show that this can be the way to go forward in refurbishing and preserving older buildings. With the current property market in Ireland its is clear that the energy of the building trade over the coming years will be in refurbishing and retrofitting older properties that present challenges of their own. We need to understand these issues and plan accordingly.”

Thermo-Soc Stops Heat Loss

ThermoSoc is a new product developed to control vapour and heat loss when electric sockets / switches are installed into internal wall insulation systems.

Simple to Install

Insulated

Air Tight

Vapour Tight

Exact Cutting

ThermoSoc is manufactured by attaching a 1mm steel plate, complete with self-adhesive tape around its perimeter to an insulated socket box.

The insulation layer is created by a 10mm layer of Aerogel as standard, and this is located between the steel plate and the vapour control layer.

The vapour control layer encapsulates a socket box with a rubber mat located on the back face to create a seal when the wires are pulled through.

Internal Wall Insulation Questions You Must Ask

Are you losing heat in your home? It’s a question most homeowners probably can’t answer for certain. But there are sure to be some tell tale signs. Draught. Unsightly damp patches. Cold walls. And, worst of all, mould appearing. If your insulation isn’t doing its job then not only is it costing you money now, and driving up your home heating bill, it is potentially damaging the fabric of your building for the future. And that can only mean more trouble. And more money. We specialise in Internal Wall Insulation systems. Our solutions are designed to be smart and specific to your building. One size doesn’t fit all, nor does one solution. To help you understand what you’re dealing with, here’s four questions to ask before you start.

What do you know about your building. When was it built and what are the primary materials?

Depending on the materials the building may or may not be breathable. Do you know? If it is breathable, and you want to maintain these characteristics then all the materials used in your upgrade must be breathable, otherwise it will make things worse. Think of the condensation on car windows on a wet day. If you don’t know then you need to find out before you commit to any insulation solution. A truly breathable material must be vapour open, capillary active and hygroscopic, in short the materials used can deal with the formation of water due to vapour condensing and direct it in the path of least resistance – either to the outside or inside face of the wall – not like your windscreen.

Is the proposed Insulation solution the right one for your building?

There are many insulation products out there, some of them sold without any care or concern for the individual needs of a particular building. You need to be able to ask your insulation provider the right questions. Have they surveyed the building? We do. Every time. Have they done a risk assessment to see what effect their proposed plan of action may have? Is it the right plan of action? Do you know enough to be sure?

Will the Insulation solution take into account the risk of damage to the building and the health of the people that live or work there?

If you have problems with cold bridges in your building, and these can be anything from plug sockets even to places where metal is used to attach insulation to walls, then a temporary fix can be worse than leaving the building to deteriorate. For people with asthma and other breathing conditions mould in a building is a problem. It can exacerbate their condition, cause illness and provoke other medical conditions. What is a cold bridge? Very simply a cold bridge is a gap or weakness in a building’s insulation. Typically it is found in reveals around doors and windows; where cables and pipes penetrate walls and at junctions of walls, floors and roofs. So if you have cold bridges in your property you are losing heat; you are wasting money on heating and your insulation is not effective.

Are there risks in Insulating Solid Walls

Solid walls are often quite damp in Winter and Spring. Brick, mortar and some stone can transfer water to the internal face through capillary action. However you must understand that the insulation solution you choose may interrupt the heat flow of moisture and although it may dry out the walls it can also leave your wall at risk of being very wet during freeze thaw events. The resultant damage can be serious. Very simply, where does the vapour go? And what happens if it doesn’t?

Speak to the Experts. . .

Before you embark on an Internal Wall Insulation programme, speak to the real experts who have the interests of your build at heart. They will take the time and do a survey, outlining for you the real options that will achieve what you want. Better insulation, more warmth in winter, no build up of condensation in the home and less money wasted on hefty fuel bills.

Cold Bridges Explained

Cold bridges are a common problem in many buildings, causing damp and mould. But, the good news is that they can be treated effectively.

Why Have I Got Mould on the Walls?

Nothing worse than builders talking building language you can’t understand. When you’re thinking about insulating your home, or if a damp spot or patch of mould appears on your wall, you might hear the builder talk about a cold bridge. In fact if you develop a damp patch or mould you want to hear him talking about a cold bridge because it means he knows that he’s talking about!

So What is a Cold Bridge?

Very simply a cold bridge [or thermal bridge] is a gap or weakness in a building’s insulation. Typically it is found:

o   In reveals around doors and windows

o   Where cables and pipes penetrate walls

o   At junctions of walls, floors and roofs

Why is a Cold Bridge a Problem?

The answer to this is straightforward. If you have cold bridges in your property you are losing heat; you are wasting money on heating and your insulation is not effective. You wouldn’t pour a percentage of your heating oil down the drain but that’s in effect what you are doing if your insulation isn’t doing its job. Before you know it, you have mould appearing on your walls. It looks bad but it is treatable.

What are the effects of a Cold Bridge?

Many people spend money on thick insulation and the benefit is lost because of cold bridges that are not treated properly. Effects of a cold bridge are:

o   Your building is much harder to heat

o   Indoor surfaces are at lower winter temperatures

o   An increased risk of surface condensation

o   Risk of damages to building units, leading to vacancies and rehousing costs

o   Danger of mildew and mould, causing serious health threats, potential litigation

o   Complaints, withheld payments, reputation damage

How Can Enviroform Solutions Help?

We provide unique flexible solutions that are specific to your building. We have specific products to address any of the cold bridging problems that you might encounter.   We are able to future proof the fabric of the building by treating all cold bridges irrespective of:

o  where they are;

o  what the cause is,

o  how old the building is or

o  how complex the problem.

Enviroform Solutions UltraTherm Flooring (@13mm Thick) was retrofitted on top of an existing suspended wooden floor in a 1900’s house.

It is important that the first row is installed straight to ensure the subsequent rows can be installed properly without gaps.

After the first row it is important to stagger the joints in the panels in the subsequent rows.

The final stage is to tape the joints to eliminate any air of vapor infiltration.
