ThermaBead Bonded Bead System
Cavity wall insulation fills the air space between the interior and exterior walls of a property to help reduce the amount of energy passing through the wall. It regulates the temperature in a property, meaning homes will be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
The ThermaBead system is a grey bonded-bead system that is pressure blown into the cavity by a specially designed injection gun. The material acts like a tea cosy, trapping the heat and keeping dwellings cosy and warm. The special material settles into the cavity leaving very little space between beads, which, coupled with a unique manufacturing method, means an optimum level of heat is being bounced back into the property.
ThermaBead utilises a specially manufactured grade of closed cell polystyrene beads, in the size range of 2mm – 9mm in diameter. The target mean density of the beads is in the range of 12 +/- 2 kgm3. The ThermaBead bonding agent is a water-based dispersion of acrylic co-polymer emulsion, white in appearance and is non-hazardous.
The beads have been thoroughly tested and will not deteriorate over time; they will also not be unduly affected by any improvement works such as fitting new double glazing. Fully fire resistant and with full BBA approval for use in even the most extreme of conditions, ThermaBead fully satisfies the latest exacting standards for energy efficiency.
