Insulation

Insulation is essential for the optimum thermal and acoustic performance in your new home.

Thermal / Acoustic Insulation

  • It is the responsibility of the builder or project manager to provide insulation to all areas in accordance with the SAP and thermal calculations.
  • No gaps should exist around insulation in walls, ceilings and roofs
  • If insulation is broken or is poorly fitted between studs, ceiling joists or roof joists, permitting a gap at sides or ends, thermal and acoustic performance can be adversely affected.
  • To meet Building Regulations, walls around all bathrooms and WC’s, including soil stacks, should be fully insulated.

Wall Insulation

  • Insulation is required in all walls (including internal walls and dormer windows)
  • Your Potton timber frame package will be supplied with high performance rigid insulation pre-fitted into external wall panels
  • In separating walls the insulation should be draped behind the electrical installation.
