Thermal upgrade - Cavity Insulation is part of the buildings DNA

PRC homes are notorious for being poorly insulated and energy inefficient, meaning many people spend a great deal of money heating their homes compared to new properties. Fortunately, thermal upgrades to PRC houses only incur 5% VAT tax. 

The thermal upgrade is usually performed as part of a PRC repair and is well worth doing as you can turn a PRC home with one of the poorest energy ratings, into an A or B rated house.

PRC Houses are Repaired and built to the same standard as a modern day house.

Once the concrete panels and posts have been removed the Cavity Insulation that is used in the repair is exactly the same as a modern day house .  Hopefully you'll be able to get an idea from these pictures of just how much warmer your home would be in the winter, whilst you also save money on energy bills.

The pictures  below shows you the panels removed with just the back of the plasterboard showing.

Using A full fill Cavity slab or Insulation board they both meet the same U-Value required in building regulations. It is in some areas around the country that building control will prefer one type to the other for different reasons , but both  correspond to the BRE green Guide.

By getting a thermal upgrade to your PRC home, you are also helping to protect the environment with less carbon being released.

Cavity Slab

These cavity slabs are single blocks of insulating material that are stacked within the exterior walls to form the cavity insulation for the thermal upgrade.

Once the roof tiles & facia are back in place heat loss becomes a minimum, Making your energy bills less.

Quinn therm & Recticel
Insulation boards

These two types of insulation boards are known as PIR cavity insulation boards and use a core of PIR foam, bonded on either side to composite aluminium facings. This creates a very efficient, very durable form of cavity wall insulation that massively improves the thermal efficiency of the house.

Saving costs by saving energy. 

Keeping your home warm in the winter & cool in the summer.

Your Carbon Footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide that enters the atmosphere because of the electricity and fuel you use to heat your home.

The cavity Insulation & Loft insulation that is now being used will reduce you having to have heating on 24/7.
