Optimise your space

Celotex is the brand leading provider of PIR insulation offering the thinnest

solutions to fit any refurbishment perfectly.

Refurbishment in the UK

The UK has in place demanding targets for the reduction of carbon emissions by

80% in 2050.

Refurbishment of the existing housing stock is key towards realising these goals.

With CERT and CESP schemes due to expire in 2012, Government’s flagship

Green Deal programme is tasked with taking forward energy-efficiency initiatives

in the public and private sector.

The Energy Saving Trust* shows improvements in annual savings directly

attributable to the refurbishment of existing buildings:

▶ Loft insulation to meet a U-value of 0.16 can save up to £175 per year

▶ Internally insulating a solid wall saves around £445 per year

▶ Externally insulating a solid wall saves around £475 per year

▶ Solid wall insulation saves between 1.8 and 1.9 tonnes of CO2 per year

With Celotex’ multiple solutions using premium performance insulation both

reduction in CO2 and financial savings can be realised with the minimum of

compromise to the space of a building.

The refurbishment regulations

Part L & Section 6 2010 provide specific minimum U-value targets that should

be achieved in a refurbishment.

The tables below outline the U-values required in each application.

Meeting the requirements without compromising space can be a challenge.

With Celotex premium performance solutions optimising space is a key attribute.

The chart below shows how much space can be saved using Celotex.

Note: For new thermal elements such as a kitchen extension, different U-values will apply. Please contact the Celotex Technical Centre for further information.
