FUSION'S UNIVERSAL "INSULATION LAW"

"FUSION'S FIRST LAW OF INSULATION"

"If you use the insulation you have always used you will get the results you have always got"

What are those "results" we refer to:

  • Outrageous heating bills
  • Dampness
  • Draughty Rooms and Hallways
  • Uncomfortable Home and Work environment
  • Cough's, Sneezes, and Aches and Pains

Here at Fusion Insulation we are zealot like in our mission to spread the 'insulation' good word. If its any consolation we have lived in homes that were badly insulated or had ineffective insulation. We have also spent way too much on heating bills and we have suffered through draughty and damp accommodation. Then we found the way. It came to us like a revelation. It was SPRAY IN PLACE FOAM INSULATION. The highest performing seamless insulation on the market today. No other insulation can insulate your home and office like  

FUSION SPRAY IN PLACE FOAM INSULATION

can.

The Ordinary Guy's Guide to "U" Values


Discover why "U" Values are only half the story for Truly Great Insulation.

If your insulation has a great U value on paper but in practice it doesn't seem to be doing its job , then you're about to discover that U values are only half the picture and why you need the double act of U values and Airtghtedness in your home, office or building for that truly "Bali" Beachouse feeling of warmth and dryness

Let's get the basics covered first; U values are a handy way to simplify what can be a fairly black art. "U" values are a measure of thermal resistance. In other words, a U value rating will give you some idea as to how 'difficult'  that insulation will  make it for heat or indeed cold passing through it, for a given depth of that insulation. To avoid freezing, in the winter you want to keep the heat in and in a baking summer you dont want your home or office becoming like an oven. The better the U value per inch or mm depth of insulation (the lower the figure) the better your home, office or building will retain its temperature. In the USA they use an R value system which is kinda like the reverse of U values, so the higher the R value the better the insulating abilities.

Simple so far? Well here's where the plot thickens. You see a U value is not a real world figure. Its measured in a laboratory and lots of people with pointy heads and lots of letters after their names, write whats know as  'protocols' or proceedural reports as to how they achieved these test results. Now you would be surprised to discover that a lot of insulation types achieved great U values from these laboratory tests, under strict laboratory conditions i.e. pretty much as near non real world conditions as you could imagine. We're not suggesting that these scientists have deliberately done a bad job. Hey, it must be very difficult in fact design just one test thats able to provide a 'universal' value system applicable to dozens and dozens of different types of insulations , but its you the end user that shells out for insulation that you thought would do the job, only to find out afterwards that in the real world, that insulation is not performing.

Let us give you an example. Its blowing a force 5 outside your home and the humidity in the air is 85%, and you have cavity walls and a standard, typical ventilated attic space . Would you want an insulation in your attic that couldnt handle air movement across it, or lost most of its of its U values if it got damp?  Would you want an insulation that sagged when it got damp and compressed down so it became ineffective as an insulation? Well the shocking news is that there are many insulation types out there that achieved excellent U values from lab tests, but cant repeat those results in the real world, of your attic, walls or floors.

What's needed is an insulation that tough, rugged, wont sag , compress, and yet retain its thermal resiistance properties over time. You need and insulation that forms an airthight seal , in situ, in your attic walls and flloors. You want an insulation that will shrug of water, rain, and moisture and will literally cold shoulder force 10 gales into touch. You want all this and a reassuring lifetime warranty. You want Fusion Spray In Place Insulation Foam becasue you never want to second guess the most important element of your enjoyment and satisfaction in your home, office or building.

"Comparing Apples with Apples"

But wait there's one more potential 'pothole' when it comes to comparing U values. There are some insulation brochures out there, that while not being misleading are perhaps a little economical with the facts e.g. Some brochures and literature quote a U value for say a 100mm insulation panel and it looks great.


You're about to place an order but then you read the small print at the bottom of the page (and we're talking 7 font small print here), and you notice that the U values quoted are in fact "typical as built U values" In other words they have calculated the plasterboard, the plaster, the insulation, the typical two course cavity block construction and the typical 20mm of external render that would be on that wall.

Hey why not include that cat sitting on the window cill as well?

So in practice their insulation seems to be performing spectacularly well , but not so well when you subtract the other materials they have thrown in. So the moral of the story is ,

"STUDY THE SMALL PRINT CAREFULLY"

Always compare like with like, Apples with Apples and Oranges with Oranges

Below are our REAL WORLD "U" values and these "U" values will be there in gales force winds, raginging storms or heatwaves. Our insulation is backed by a Lifetime Warranty after all

UNLOCK THE SUPER INSULATING POTENTIAL OF YOUR CAVITY WALLS TODAY USING A REVOLUTIONARY LIQUID CAVITY INSULATION THAT ACTUALLY THINKS ITS SOLID

 


Read how you can turn your walls from "ENEMY" to "ALLY" in the fight to keep your home warm, dry and cosy.

What’s you will discover here is stuff most people will never know or ever realise about their external wall cavities.

The scary thing is, your walls have been screwing up your attempts to heat your home, your office your workplace for years. After your Attic or Loft, your walls are the next biggest source of heat loss from your home, your office and your buildings. Up to 30% of your heat leaks out through your Cavity walls, yet to most people see walls are a scary subject, full of myths, speculation and downright crazy misinformation.

Here at Fusion we will try and demystify some of those myths and put you on the road to Cavity Insulation Nirvana.

OK, let’s start with some fundamentals.

Here's the first big revelation: It’s not your wall’s fault that they are currently one of the biggest problems in your freezing home, so don’t be taking it out on them . Blame the regulations. You see in this over regulated country of ours, many many many years ago some one came up with the idea of a cavity wall. Now’s that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing because before that we had solid walls and bad rendering(plastering) systems so the nett result was rain and damp could seep into your home or building.

Then along came the concrete block and revolutionised the way we built homes, buildings and offices.

The next big development was the “cavity” and its main role in life was to create two skins on your building. The outside one could get wet and damp without the internal one getting damp and wetting the inside of your home. There were also some nebulous worries about where condensation took place and it was felt, that the best place for this happen was in the cavity (the cavity is that never visited place between the two skins of your external block work) .

So if you’ve followed us this far we have established that in a cavity wall there is;

•An outside wall of blocks

•Inside that we have a cavity or gap typically 50mm to 75mm thick, and

•Inside we have the inside wall and if that’s wasn’t enough complications the cavity in the vast majority of houses and buildings is ........

•Ventilated – yes ventilated. Why ventilated ? Well its a bit unclear why, but the fear was the cavity might fill up with water or condensation or such and because of this there needed to be outside air circulating at will. Outside air in your cavity was meant to keep the inside skin of your block-work dry.

 

Yes DRY!

We know what you’re thinking. How can moist damp air from outside keep your internal walls dry? Yes like us you have just realised the only time that air from outside could actually keep your internal wall dry is when the air from outside has lower absolute humidity than the inside of your home. Which to be fair, happens for a few weeks each year, when we get what’s technically known as a summer. Once the summer starts, we are all pretty much living outside at that stage trying to get as much sunburn as possible. Apart from that, for the other 48 weeks, Irish air is as damp as a “squib”, not that we at Fusion know what a squib is but it seems to be a pretty damp thing indeed.

OK just to recap, we have walls, we have cavities (gaps between the walls) and we have damp breezes blowing round those cavities and guess what?

Damp breezes blowing against internal cavity walls are fantastic at chilling your home.

The reason for this is that the internal bocks in your house are great ‘CONDUCTORS’ of heat. They are solid, they are dense and as such can transmit heat from inside your rooms outside, to that breeze that’s in the cavity. The greater the temperature differential the greater the speed at which heat will leave through your walls.

But "Hold on a cotton picking minute" I hear you say . "What about the insulation in my cavity. Isn’t that meant to stop heat leaving my home and office?"

 

IN A HURRY? CLICK HERE FOR AN INCREDIBLE SHORTCUT

 

Well here’s the next big discovery you are about to make;

If your home was built in the 70’s or later chances are that it has some form of cavity insulation. Most cavity insulation installed since the 70’s is what known as foam board or Styrofoam or air-board insulation panels. Usually white, and very light. Now on paper they have great insulation values but when placed in your cavity by block layers or bricklayers they have a huge weakness. That weakness is joints and gaps .

Using traditional building techniques these boards are badly butted together in the cavity and are almost never taped along the joints and block ties. Hence the cold air circulating in the cavity of your home or building can get in behind the insulation and pretty much suck the heat out of your home at will.

The shocking truth is that most board insulations installed into cavities over the 40 years are little better than useless. We know this sounds harsh but we've lived in enough cold damp houses, and saw enough of them being built, over the years to know what we are talking about.

It's a real challenge to solve the problem of a cavity without any insulation or a cavity with badly fitted or draughty insulation.

Traditionally the only way was to drill holes in the exterior skin of block-work through to the cavity and blow beads or some other flyaway material into the cavity and hey presto you filled the cavity, with light blowaway beads that couldn't really stop that damp breeze we were telling you about earlier.

You see if an insulation can't create an air tight seal in a void or cavity that's ventilated then its U values will be destroyed by that damp breeze that continually blowing through there. The shocking thing is that most of these bead and fibre insulations are fine when absolutely dry. Get them wet or damp and they no longer act as insulators. Instead they turn into great conductors of heat.

Now heres the really interesting development. Fusion Insulation has a dastardly effective cavity wall insulation that manages to do some really spectacularly clever things all at once.

How our Cold Pour Foam will transform your walls and maybe even your life;

Lets cut to the chase here and we can deal with the science later.

Fusion Cold Pour Foam is just that. What we do is drill holes, like I described earlier, into your outside wall at 1m centers typically . When we reach the cavity we use our special pumping equipment and in a controlled fashion we inject foam liquid into the cavity. Thats right a 'goopy' liquid into your cavity. It flows down to the bottom of your cavity and after a few minutes sitting there it does something really magical. It starts to set. But it sets in a really great way . You see it expands while it sets. Very Slowly. It rises and rises and fills your entire cavity solid with a low density super ins ulating foam.

Your Cavity is now filled with SUPERINSULATING foam which wont soak water and wont bridge water or dampness across the cavity.

But here's the next great thing.

Your cavity can breathe but those cooling draughts and breezes can no longer sap the heat out of your walls.

What your never thought possible can be achieved. Fusion Cold Pour Foam wont shrink, collapse or melt away in the cavity. In fact it comes with a lifetime performance warranty.

You get the double benefits of great U values in your cavity and super air-tightness.
