    Any brick slip teams near Andover?

    Hi guys, Looking for a small team that are confident with brick slip installation in the Andover area around the end of June and into July. Approx 400m2 of brick slips to be installed to 2 x domestic new builds (ICF). Training and guidance available! Rate is £70/m2 installation only...

    Looking for someone in Sheffield to apply lime-based internal insulation

    Hi Mike, an alternative is our ProofTherm insulating render. Highly breathable, expanded Perlite based and using a lime binder.

    Insulating lime render internal

    EPS and XPS have a thermal conductivity of approx 0.034 w/m2K. ProofTherm has a thermal conductivity of 0.06 w/m2k. Therefore you need 2x the thickness of ProofTherm if you want to match the insulating value of EPS or XPS. However, ProofTherm is highly breathable and provides a continuous...

    Looking at your 2nd picture on a small screen looked like it was block work covered with brick slips

    Product Field Testing

    If it was testing of a brand new, untried product, then I'd agree. This product has been widely used across Europe but new to the UK, hence the reason we want UK feedback. Would love to send free product out across the UK for extensive trialling but it would a) upset all the wholesalers trying...

    You've done it in brick or brick slip finish...why would you want to render it?

    Tell me about it! We have a major European launch of another product that is really quite unique due for right now....just hope we don't miss the season entirely!

    Product Field Testing

    Boys and girls, we're looking for a a few teams to field test our Monocouche range and give us proper, constructive feedback of how you get on with it under everyday UK conditions. We want to know how it mixed up, what it was like to work with, how it dried and how easy was it to finish along...

    Better late than never.... What calcs do you need people? We've got a thermal conductivity lambda now of 0.06w/m2k for the ProofTherm render. To work out the U-Value though we need to know the whole wall build up so that we can calculate the R Value of each element to get to a final U Value.

    Thermal boards

    18mm ProofTherm, 2mm skim and paint. What's the total area and whereabouts in the country?

    Hello from ProofShield

    Very roughly, the insulating value would be equivalent to approximately mm of EPS..

    Are you looking at using it internally or externally? Either way, as long as you are using a decent breathable primer (Acrylic based) there's no reason for any problems with top coats. We also have a silicon enhanced mineral top coat for external finishes (2mm grain, looks good with a dragged...

    Lightweight Insulating Screed

    At the moment we only have stocks of our bagged product in the UK which is a dry ready mix "just add water" product and at £8.75 for 20kg, quite competitive. We'll be supplying the loose aggregate by around mid April and it looks like it will be cheaper than Lytag and quite a bit lighter.

    Yes, 5% vat for installation as it's an insulating product and the whole job would come under the same treatment. We still have to add normal VAT though for trade sales. It's only at the installation end that the VAT drops i.e. for installation, not for supply

    Not really practical to get to 0.3 w/m2K building standards just using a product like this as you'd need to build up to a thickness of around 10cm on a bare masonry wall. With the best will in the world, a render product can't match the insulation values of EPS. Products like ProofTherm can...

    We're looking for ways to increase the visibility of our insulating render product in the UK and have decided that the best way is to get it into the hands of people that will make good use of it and give us feedback for case studies in return. ProofTherm insulating render is a lightweight...

    Lightweight Insulating Screed

    Just wanted to introduce our lightweight insulating bagged screed product, ProofTherm. Comes in 20kg bags that cover approx 2.2m2 at 20mm. Provides thermal and acoustic insulation and is considerably lighter than standard Screed. Happy to give super crunchy prices to anyone through the forum...

    Hello from ProofShield

    Hi Zolco, yes it contains expanded Perlite. Millions of air bubbles trapping heat. Lambda value (thermal conductivity) is 0.07w/m2K. Adding 20mm of this to a bare brick wall will increase the Thermal Resistance of the structure by 250%. Its all about creating a greater thermal mass without...

    Hello from ProofShield

    Hi Bagrat, thanks for the lead, I'll try and get through to them. To be honest, even lots of the independent merchants belong to buying groups which are run like a pretty closed shop. But, definitely worth a go !

    Hello from ProofShield

    Hi, haven't put it through a Ritmo. Happy to supply some for a test if you like. Would be useful to know! Goes through an MTEC 200 fine. I have a video somewhere which I will try and upload.
