Here, using some simple SketchUp models, we look at how to correctly detail our internal wall insulation systems , focussing on window openings (which also applies to door openings) so that you can be sure you will not have moisture or condensation penetrating and causing issues or damage.

Here, using some simple 3d models, we look at how to correctly detail the membranes and wood fibre insulation in your suspended floor so that you can be sure you will not get moisture or air leakage causing issues or damage.

Here, using some simple 3D models, we look at how to correctly detail our wood fibre external wall insulation systems around window openings (which also applies to door openings) so that you can be sure you will not get wind-driven rain penetrating and causing issues or damage.

Because we supply quite a range of different wood fibre boards, we often get asked to recommend the best insulation for many different types of walling, whether it is soft sandstone, hard flint or old brick.

Last month we wrote an article about decrement delay and how it can help enormously with keeping buildings comfortable, particularly during heat waves such as the one we’ve recently experienced in the UK.

To further highlight and explain this we’ve collected the below data from a Passivhaus building which uses wood fibre insulation in the roof and walls, along with lots of clay boards lining the interior to boost thermal mass.

With the extreme heat we are experiencing there are many people who’s homes and offices are getting extremely hot, not giving them anywhere to escape the record high temperatures that are becoming the norm in our summers. Many of those buildings are modern, ‘well insulated’ buildings that are quite comfortable in winter but offer little protection from heat in the summer. This significantly impacts the health of elderly and vulnerable occupants and so is vital to address.

We regularly get asked whether it is possible to mix wood fibre insulation with synthetic insulation, to save on cost and give a lower U-value for a given thickness but to try and retain some of the benefits of wood fibre.

We often get asked what is the best thickness of insulation to use when considering solid wall insulation and also whether internal or external insulation is best.
