DEFYING THE CHILL: HOW POURED INSULATION KEEPS WINTER AT BAY WITH COMFORT AND EFFICIENCY
The need for a warm and cosy space is never more apparent than in winter as the chill settles in.
Clockwork Screed provides a perfect solution for year-round comfort – poured insulation.
Defying the Chill: How Poured Insulation Keeps Winter at Bay with Comfort and Efficiency
Winter poses unique challenges to maintaining indoor warmth, and poured insulation is a fantastic solution for seeing off the cold. Clockwork Screed's poured insulation provides an impervious thermal barrier that keeps the cold at bay.
Advantages Over Conventional Insulation
Poured insulation takes the lead in winter compared to conventional insulation methods. Its seamless application ensures no weak points or gaps for the cold to infiltrate, providing a continuous shield against heat loss. Unlike other materials, poured insulation conforms effortlessly to irregular spaces, ensuring every nook and cranny receives the warmth it deserves.
In the face of winter's chill, Clockwork Screed's poured insulation is perfect for maintaining warmth and comfort within your development. Expertly installed, this insulation offers an array of benefits, making it a practical choice for those seeking efficiency without compromising functionality.
Benefits of Clockwork Poured Insulation
- Ultra-Low Weight:
- Clockwork poured insulation, when installed correctly, boasts an ultra-low density of as low as 93kgs m3.
- This characteristic makes it an incredibly lightweight option, minimising structural load and facilitating ease of installation.
- Environmentally Friendly:
- Clockwork insulation aligns with environmental consciousness, producing less CO2 during both production and installation.
- Comprising up to 80% less cement (only 80 kg/m3 used), it stands out as an environmentally friendly choice, contributing to sustainable construction practices.
- Fast Drying Times:
- Clockwork insulation showcases impressive drying times, with the ability to dry as fast as 1cm per day under normal conditions.
- The material's exceptional ‘pumpability’ of 1000 m2/day ensures efficient application, even in challenging weather scenarios.
Winter Energy Efficiency
As temperatures plummet, the demand for heating systems rises. Poured insulation significantly reduces this demand by offering superior energy efficiency. The material's thermal performance minimises the need for constant heating, resulting in energy savings and reduced utility bills for homeowners and businesses.
Fire Rating: A Winter Safety Net
Safety is paramount, especially during the winter when the risk of accidents, including fires, increases. Clockwork Screed's poured insulation goes beyond providing warmth; it is a robust safety net with exceptional fire-resistant properties. The material not only meets but exceeds industry standards, reinforcing buildings' structural integrity and safety.
Ground Floor Insulation
Clockwork's poured insulation stands out with its flowing composition, achieving an impressive thermal conductivity as low as 0.037 W/mk. This capability meets stringent energy conservation requirements, making it an ideal choice for ground-floor insulation. Its direct application onto hardcore serves a dual purpose, significantly reducing the cement content of floor construction and promoting environmentally friendly practices. Clockwork’s poured insulation further showcases its versatility by seamlessly adapting to various surfaces, allowing for applications on concrete sub-floors as well as over-beam and block constructions.
Intermediate Floor Solutions
When opting for Clockwork insulation over traditional floor systems, developers benefit from a substantial weight reduction while still meeting necessary load requirements, set at a commendable 93kgs m3. The lightweight nature of Clockwork insulation brings additional advantages, delivering thermal and acoustic benefits that translate into potential savings on structural design. Notably, this choice diminishes the reliance on insulation boards beneath underfloor heating systems, consequently lowering costs associated with meeting acoustic requirements. The cost-effectiveness of Clockwork insulation in intermediate floor solutions is underscored by its multifaceted advantages.
Strength and Efficiency
Clockwork insulation, despite its lightweight nature, boasts remarkable strength with a minimum compressive strength of 110 kPa. This attribute ensures that the insulation not only contributes to energy efficiency but also provides a sturdy foundation for various construction projects. The low cement consumption associated with Clockwork insulation adds to its appeal, featuring a 'pumpability' of 1000m2 per day. This efficiency accelerates project timelines, allowing for faster progression to subsequent stages. In essence, Clockwork insulation becomes a practical choice for those seeking a blend of strength and efficiency in their construction endeavours.
As winter throws up varying cold weather conditions, the importance of a warm and secure indoor environment cannot be overstated. Clockwork Screed's poured insulation offers a seamless, efficient, and safe solution for maintaining comfort. You can hold onto warmth and contribute to energy efficiency and safety by choosing poured insulation. This winter create a comfortable space where the cold remains outside, and warmth thrives.
