Use Aerogel Strips for Thermal Bridge Insulation – prevent Cold Bridging on steel posts & window frames

One of the most popular products in Ireland for preventing Cold Bridging on the likes of steel posts, window frames, door frames and other similar applications are Spaceloft Aerogel Strips.

These Aerogel Strips are pliable and easily positioned around steel posts and are also perfect for use in bay windows. They eliminate a cold bridge and this not only offers thermal bridge insulation thus saving you energy costs but also prevents mould from developing over time.

We have two different widths – 100mm and 125mm available and you can simply cut these lengths if needed and join them if required with tape.

What are the benefits of using these?

Advantages

• Superior Thermal Performance
• Up to five times better thermal performance than competing insulation products
• Ideal for low energy, passive or zero-energy buildings.
• Reduced Thickness and Profile
• Equal thermal resistance at a fraction of the thickness, releases space for building occupiers and increases investment returns for owners / investors.
• Less Time and Labour to Install
• Easily cut and conformed to complex shapes, tight curvatures, and spaces with restricted access.
• Spaceloft can be prefabricated to reduce installation times, less disruption for occupants.
• Physically Robust
• Soft and flexible but with excellent springback.
• Spaceloft can tolerate typical site mechanical abuse without compromising thermal performance.
• Hydrophobic Yet Breathable – Hygrothermal Risk Assessments
• Spaceloft® repels liquid water but allows vapour to pass through, ideal for heritage application or where a breathable design is desired.
• Spaceloft’s hygrothermal characteristics are available for simulation software such as WUFI®
• Environmentally Friendly – Landfill disposable with no respirable fibre content

What are Spaceloft products?

Spaceloft is a flexible, nanoporous aerogel blanket insulation designed to meet the demanding energy conservation requirements of residential and commercial building applications.

Spaceloft’s unique properties—extremely low thermal conductivity, superior flexibility, hydrophobicity, and ease of use—make it essential for those seeking the ultimate in thermal protection.

Using patented technology, Spaceloft insulation combines a silica aerogel with reinforcing fibre to deliver industry-leading thermal performance in an easy-to handle and environmentally friendly product. Spaceloft products are proven, effective insulators, a range of primary new build and retrofit applications including;

Cutting information:

Spaceloft® can be cut using conventional cutting tools including scissors, tin snips, and razor knives.

It is recommended gloves, safety glasses, and dust mask be worn when handling material. Additional processing guidelines
can be found in the Spaceloft Applications Guide.
