The impact of climate change is increasing and so are energy prices. By making new and existing buildings more energy efficient, you can reduce energy loss and help save money on energy bills.
To improve thermal efficiency there are building regulations for new build, renovation and replacement work. The regulations can be found in these documents, thermal efficiency is expressed as a U-value.
Put simply, it’s the measurement of the rate of heat loss through a material. The less heat is lost, the lower the U-value. Calculating U-values can be quite complex: heat loss is worked out by measuring the temperature difference on either side of 1m2 of material.
Heat can leak through any external surface in a home, but most escapes through the walls and loft space.
There are a number of ways we can assist you with meeting Part L Building Regulations for U Values.
We have a helpful and easy to use digital tool which based on simple user input will determine the most suitable drylining products for your walls or loft space, whilst meeting the regulations. Our U Value calculator is available online or as a free ios or android app.
For larger projects or where more detailed information is required our Technical Enquiry line are here to help. Contact our Technical Enquiry Line on 01275 377456 or 0800 1456033 or email technical.services@siniat.co.uk
As energy prices and declining natural resources continue to impact on our lives, effective insulation is more important than ever.
The UK Government states reasonable provisions should be made to comply with regulations to improve thermal efficiency of areas including walls, floors and roof spaces.
Thermal efficiency is expressed as a U-Value. Though the calculation of U-Values can be complex our Technical Services department can calculate this for you. Call 01275 377 789 for further details.
