The challenge of dealing with heating inefficiencies, major heat loss and high heating costs are a common problem with many Victorian buildings and solid wall dwellings. Property owner Sean Crawford has lived in the property on Kelmore Grove, London SE22 for 15 years and has already made significant investments to improve the energy efficiency of his home and reduce heating costs.
Improvements to date include a new condensing boiler, 4-zone heating, draught-proofing, floor insulation, underfloor heating, loft and bay window insulation, solar PV panels, double glazing and many more. However, even with all of this work, when the heating is not on, the living room is still cold, with much of the heat loss down to the solid wall construction.
Spacetherm WL consists of Spacetherm aerogel insulation blanket bonded to 3mm Magnesium Board (MgO), for use in applications where improved thermal performance is required with limited space. At just 13mm thick, the use of Spacetherm WL has virtually no negative impact on floor space, making it ideal for refurbishment projects where space is at a premium.
