Project Overview
In Warlingham, Surrey, Birch Construction Surrey is delivering a high‑quality five‑bedroom detached family home. A key focus of the build has been achieving the required thermal performance while maintaining practical and efficient construction methods. To meet these needs, the team selected Recticel Eurowall+ cavity wall insulation.
Why Eurowall+ Was Chosen
Site Manager Brandon Birch emphasised the importance of choosing the right insulation materials, particularly as industry standards evolve:
"The specification of the materials are very important, with the insulation values changing, they've changed the cavity sizes, so the Recticel Eurowall+ helped us keep the cavity sizes down to 100mm." — Brandon Birch
This ability to maintain a slimmer 100 mm cavity without compromising performance was a key benefit for the project, allowing the team to balance efficiency, buildability, and compliance.
Merchant Perspective
From the merchant side, Robert Price, Assistant Branch Manager at Jewson West Wickham, highlighted both the cost and product differentiation Eurowall+ offers:
"Its a very cost effective product, eurowall+ is and its also unique in the sense that not many people doing a tongue and groove board at the moment." — Robert Price
This characteristic positions Eurowall+ as a strong option for builders seeking performance and value while benefiting from enhanced usability on-site.
On‑Site Benefits: Speed & Performance
Both the construction team and the merchant noted the advantages of the product’s tongue‑and‑groove design.
Brandon explained how this feature positively impacts installation and performance:
"Tounge and groove is very important because it has a lower u-value so it's a higher insulation value and way qiocker to install than most installations." — Brandon Birch
Robert reinforced this by highlighting the added design flexibility it gives builders:
"It’s a very high quality product, allows people to build slightly bigger rooms with fullfill full." — Robert Price
