Ancore offers both Open cell and Closed cell spray foam solutions.The benefits of a spray foam, as opposed to other types of insulation, include quick application, dexterity in hard to reach spots, air–tightness and generally robust resistance to diverse environmental conditions.

Open–cell spray foam technology (Lapolla FoamLok) is a cost–effective solution to improve the energy efficiency of a building. The breathable material expands 100 times its initial volume and fills cavities of any shape providing a continuous, protective air barrier that helps to minimize air leakage and air intrusion.

Application Uses:

·    Roof – Directly to underside of breathable membrane (as long as counter batten is installed),

·    Roof – Directly to underside of ridged insulation board that is installed on top of rafters in a warm roof construction, 

·    Roof – Directly to rafter slides installed between rafters maintaining regulation 50mm air gap when single batten roofs are used to comply with Building Regulations and BS5250:2011 Code for Condensation.

·    Roof – Directly to bitumen felt (non breathable membrane)

·    Roof – Directly onto the floor in attic,

·    Walls – Timber frame walls between studs, 

·    Walls – Internal surface of exterior masonry walls used along with dry lining system

·    Floors – Underside of suspended and ventilated timber ground floors.

Closed–cell spray and injection foam insulation solutions (BASF Walltite CL100 & CV100) are particularly efficient. Because of their greater density and adhesion characteristics they provide structural stability, fire and moisture resistance in wall and roof assemblies.

Application Uses: 

·    Roof – Directly to the underside of exposed slates to stabilise and insulate,

·    Roof – Directly to underside of breathable membrane (as long as counter batten is installed),

·    Roof – Directly to rafter slides installed between rafters maintaining regulation 50mm air gap when single batten roofs are used,

·    Roof – on the flat ceiling in attic,

·    Walls – Timber frame walls between studs,

·    Walls – inside surface of masonry walls used along with dry lining system (metal or timber system),

·    Floor – Concrete ground floors underneath screed, 

·    Floor – Underside of concrete slabs / soffit, and

·    Cavity Wall – Pour Injected rigid foam between block cavity wall to stabilise and insulate.

The Ancore team will advise on when open cell or close cell is the most relevant insulation option for a specific project.

Recent surveys have confirmed that the total installation costs associated with spray foam, compared with pre–prepared rigid boards or wool, are about the same. However, spray foam delivers a far better result with Air–tightness, Lifetime Energy Savings installed in Less time and with Less mess. Specifically, the spraying process ensures that an entire structure is completely Air–sealed in a fraction of the time compared to using other insulatation options.
