FAQs - Frequently asked questions

What if I cannot provide all of the information required for thermal calculations of a specific project?

It is possible for us to make certain assumptions when performing a calculation, but this can reduce the accuracy of the final result. Assumptions are routinely made about the types of fixings to be used, but we will always try to inform you if a general figure has been used where more accurate data could affect the calculation result.
