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.
What is the BBA Competent Person Scheme?
The scheme, of which Recticel Insulation is a member, is designed to ensure consistency and accuracy in the provision of U-value calculations through a process of assessment, certification and continuous monitoring. Not all insulation manufacturers are members of the scheme.
What is the minimum clear cavity when using Recticel Insulation cavity wall products?
As per the documentation for Eurowall® +, the clear cavity can be reduced to 10mm due to the innovative tongue & groove interlocking joint.
Eurowall® Cavity is certified for use in conjunction with a 25mm cavity. However, some warranty providers will not accept this and require a 50mm cavity, as do Scottish Building Standards. A wider cavity should be used in exposed locations.
If in doubt, seek advice from your Building Control Officer.
