Choices for lofts
Our range of thermal plasterboards offer superior insulation performance with up to 46 times thermal improvement vs standard thermal board – with a minimum loss of loft space.
SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR LOFT
CONTROL CONDENSATION
Homes are becoming better insulated to prevent heat loss, helping the environment and lowering heating bills. Better insulation is of course a good thing however there are some challenges.
When you apply internal insulation to an outside wall the wall becomes colder. This creates a danger that warm water vapour from inside the home will get trapped behind the insulation, and as it cools it can condense on and inside the wall fabric in the same way that you get condensation on the surface of single glazed windows.
This condensation can lead to substantial problems of damp, mould and can lead to rotting of timber elements.
ADVANTAGES
- Reduces condensation.
- Enables the plasterboard and the metallised membrane to be fixed in one operation.
- Perfect for internal lining of external facing walls and ceilings.
- Once mounted with the shiny side to the wall or ceiling the board can be finished in the normal way either by a taping and jointing process or by a plaster skim coat.

NOISE REDUCTION SYSTEMS
Our noise reduction systems give you the ability to control the sound levels around your home, creating a more comfortable environment for everyone.
The type and quality of installation can have a huge impact on the performance of a noise reduction system. The combination of metal stud and mineral wool will ensure the correct sound resistance is achieved.

THERMAL INSULATION
As energy prices and declining natural resources continue to impact on our lives, effective insulation is more important than ever.
The UK Government states reasonable provisions should be made to comply with regulations to improve thermal efficiency of areas including walls, floors and roof spaces.
ADVANTAGES
- A range of thermal property boards available to meet your specific needs.
- Up to 46 times thermal improvement over standard board.
- Reduced energy costs.
- Warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer.
