What Is the Polymer Fibrous System?

The polymer fibrous system is a cutting-edge material designed specifically for creating a rough surface before applying tanking systems. It incorporates advanced fibres and polymers to deliver a strong, flexible, and reliable base for further waterproofing.

Key Benefits:

  • Enhanced U-Value: Improves thermal performance, helping to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
  • Durability: Provides a robust and long-lasting base that can withstand various environmental conditions.
  • Superior Adhesion: Creates an ideal surface for tanking systems, ensuring a secure and reliable finish.
  • Moisture Resistance: Minimises water penetration, reducing the risk of damp and structural issues.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including basements, walls, and other damp-prone areas.

Applications of the Polymer Fibrous System:

This innovative system is ideal for:

  • Basement Waterproofing: A dependable base for tanking systems in below-ground structures.
  • Damp-Prone Walls: Provides additional protection and reinforcement before tanking.
  • Renovations and New Builds: Suitable for use in both existing properties and new construction projects.

Cavity Wall Insulation vs. External Wall Insulation

Cavity Wall Insulation vs. External Wall Insulation

When it comes to improving energy efficiency and reducing heat loss in your property, choosing between cavity wall insulation (CWI) and external wall insulation (EWI) can be challenging. Both methods have their merits, but understanding their differences is key to making the right decision.

Cavity Wall Insulation: Benefits and Drawbacks

Cavity wall insulation involves filling the gap between two layers of brickwork with insulating material, such as mineral wool or foam. It’s a cost-effective solution for homes with unfilled cavity walls and can significantly reduce heat loss.

Benefits:

  • Cost-Effective: Generally cheaper than EWI.
  • Quick Installation: Minimal disruption to your home during the process.
  • Improved Energy Efficiency: Helps lower heating bills and reduces carbon emissions.

Drawbacks:

  • Not Suitable for All Homes: Older properties with solid walls or narrow cavities may not be compatible.
  • Potential Damp Issues: Poorly installed insulation can cause moisture to bridge the cavity, leading to damp problems.
  • Limited Thermal Efficiency: May not achieve the same level of performance as EWI.

External Wall Insulation: Benefits and Drawbacks

External wall insulation involves fixing insulating panels to the outside of your property and finishing with a protective render or cladding. This method is ideal for solid wall properties or homes where cavity wall insulation isn’t an option.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Thermal Performance: Offers superior insulation and significantly improves the U-value of your walls.
  • Reduced Damp Risk: Acts as a protective barrier against rain penetration.
  • Aesthetic Improvement: Gives your property a fresh, modern look.

Drawbacks:

  • Higher Cost: Installation is more expensive than CWI.
  • Planning Permission: May require approval in conservation areas or for listed buildings.
  • Longer Installation Time: The process can be more disruptive and time-consuming.

Choosing the Right Option for Your Property

The choice between cavity wall insulation and external wall insulation depends on factors like the construction of your property, budget, and energy-saving goals. At Dampstop, we provide expert advice to help you make the best decision for your home. Contact us today to discuss your insulation needs.
