Multi-Foils & Breathable Membranes
Working in partnership with Web Dynamics, Howarth Timber and Building Supplies are pleased to offer to our customers Thinsulex™ - the only UK multi-foil to be BBA certified and part L compliant, approved by the LABC and accepted by the NHBC.
In 1997 Web Dynamics, experts in intelligent material solutions, looked to develop a cost effective, high quality functional material which optimised the elements controlling thermal loss – the result was Thinsulex™.
Thinsulex is a thin, flexible insulation which reflects infra-red radiation. Independently tested, Thinsulex™ has a 25 year product guarantee and stops air leakage by providing an air-tight vapour barrier and restricting air movement in its multi-foil layers.
It is a space saving solution which is quick to install, leaving no mess and results in low wastage. It works in combination with glass wool, reducing the total thickness of insulation needed and with PUR rigid board, cutting the installation time.
