Airtec Cavity Wall Insulation System

Airtec is a multi-layer air bubble film insulation with aluminium bonded to either one face (Airtec-Single) or both faces (Airtec-Double). The aluminium is coated with polythene to give durability and corrosion resistance. Therefore creating a fully waterproof insulation system. Airtec is a high performance insulation material which acts by trapping air within its structure creating low emissivity air spaces which enhance its total thermal capabilities.

Airtec can be used to enhance ‘U’ values in traditional cavity wall construction to meet and exceed current Building Regulations.

Airtec can be used in one of two ways:

Airtec-Single is to be used in conjunction with thermal blocks.
Airtec-Single is rolled to 25mm x 38mm vertical counter battens, thus creating the required air gap.

Once Airtec-Single is in place and joints sealed using Airtec YBS 75mm tape, then plasterboard (internal finish) is applied directly onto the Airtec and fixed directly through to the battens.

Airtec-Double is to be used in conjunction with medium dense blocks.
Airtec-Double is fixed to the blockwork-mounted horizontal counter battens thus creating the required air gap.

Once Airtec-Double is in place and joints sealed with Airtec YBS 75mm tape, then the vertical counter battens are fixed at the required centres, ready for direct application of the plasterboard (internal surface).
