Expanded Polystyrene - Kore Fill Benefits
U-VALUES OPTIONS
The U-value of KOREFill is only limited by the width of the cavity. A 110mm cavity built with 2000kg blocks will achieve a U-value of 0.27 W/m²K while a 150mm cavity will achieve 0.20W/m²K.
SUPERIOR THERMAL INSULATION EQUALS MONEY SAVING
The KOREFill bead is suitable for application in new and existing buildings. Thirty five percent of heat loss in a building is through the walls. Where KOREFill is installed, occupants will benefit from a home that is easier to heat and retain, while at the same time reducing the volume of heating fuel required.
CAVITY BENEFITS
The installation of KOREFill does not hinder the function of the cavity. The natural matrix formed by the bead means that moisture that penetrates the outer leaf will not travel through the cavity to the inner leaf. The water by natural gravity will flow to the weep holes at the bottom of the cavity. The beads bond together in a honeycomb type formation allowing air to circulate and the cavity to breath.
PRODUCT PERFORMANCE
The KOREFill System is rot-proof, water repellent, and durable and will not degrade over time. It will not prejudice the fire resistance properties of the wall. Once installed properly the KOREFill System will perform consistently for the life of the building.
INSTALLATION BENEFITS
KOREFill is only installed by fully trained and accredited installers. As a client you will not have to handle the product in any way. There is no site storage of waste facilities required and the installers bring their own specialised machinery and equipment. The installation process will take no more than a day (weather permitting).
COMPLIANCE WITH BUILDING REGULATIONS
KOREFill satisfies all necessary compliance issues regarding Building Regulations 1997 to 2007. Part L requires a minimum U-value of 0.27W/m2K for wall construction. KOREFill easily satisfies this requirement.
SITE STORAGE
The KOREFill product does not need to be stored on site. The installer will arrive on site and the product is installed directly from the installers truck into the cavity. The client will not have to handle the product.
SITE MACHINERY
The client does not need any specialist equipment or machinery on site. The installers are fully equipped with their own equipment.
NO ON–SITE WASTE
The installer fills the cavity directly from the installation truck and as such there is no material or packaging waste from the process. Any excess KOREFill material remaining in the trailer once the fill is complete is removed by the installer.
FILL CERTAINTY
The installation equipment and technique is designed to guarantee that every meter squared of the wall is completely filled. The client can be one hundred percent certain that the walls of the building are completely filled with insulating material.
TIME SAVING
As the placement of the insulation is no longer the responsibility of the block layer, the block walls will be finished much more quickly. Once the building is sealed from the elements, the installer will fill the cavity with the KOREFill insulation.
