Residential

Isolate the steel frame and ring beam to prevent thermal bridging in a private swimming pool environment with very differing temperature ranges and increased relative humidity.

Details Location:

Highbury, London

Private Residency – Private Swimming Pool

Challenges

• Eliminate thermal loop and repeat bridging through the steel frame.
• Vast temperature differences increasing the risk of interstitial condensation.
• To dovetail with conventional cavity insulation system.
• To prevent steps in the internal wall line.
• To remove the risk of condensation at the steel structure / ring beam and connection details and to achieve the required thermal performance.
• Walls: 0.25 W/m²K       Roof: 0.16 W/m²K

Solutions

• All cavities of the structural skeleton steelworks packed with layers of  Thermablok Aerogel 10mm Insulation Blanket.
• Entire steel structure wrapped and lined with layers of Thermablok Aerogel 10mm Insulation Blanket, glued and taped in place.

Benefits

• Providing an increased thermal efficiency at a critical position where absolutely essential to prevent repeat cold bridging within a much reduced space.
• Robust and tough material can be cut to fit in and around steel structure.
• Materials not affected by liquid, mould or bacteria ensuring a risk adverse insulation solution.
