Thermal insulation of buildings

For enhancing the thermal insulation of walls while allowing moisture to be drawn without substantial resistance from the cavity to the outside atmosphere by vapour pressure, a relatively loose packing material 13, e.g. glass or mineral wool, is located at the upper end of the cavity wall 10 to allow moisture to be drawn therethrough to the outside atmosphere while maintaining a relatively stagnant pocket of air in the cavity to enhance thermal insulation of the wall by preventing convection heat losses. The loft space may be insulated from the outside atmosphere by a barrier 14 extending between the underside of the sloping roof of the building and the uppermost ceiling at a position inwardly of the cavity wall. ...

Filling cavity walls with insulation

In order to limit the spread of, for example, insulating foam in a wall cavity, a barrier strip 20 is proposed to be inserted in the cavity.

MILKWEED INSULATION

ABRÉGÉ isolant de construction ensaché à base d'asclépiade D'utilisation généralisée, les matières isolantes permettent d'éviter les déperditions énergétiques dans les habitations. La majeure partie de ces matières sont d'origine synthétique et donc assujetties aux nombreux problèmes reliés à l'industrie pétrochimique. L'utilisation de ces matières ne correspond pas à la vision d'une construction écologique, c'est pourquoi l'introduction de fibres naturelles, est plus appréciée. La grande difficulté avec la majorité de ces fibres, est la faible résistance thermique (R) qui leur est souvent associée. C'est ici que se démarque l'emploi de l'asclépiade ayant un facteur élevé de résistance thermique. Comme son point faible est son degré d'inflammabilité, on ne peut l'utiliser sans lui adjoindre une protection, c'est pourquoi l'utilisation d'un coffrage en chanvre ou en laine de roche, s'avère nécessaire. Ainsi conscrite dans cet écrin, la fibre peut jouer son rôle d'isolant ayant le plus faible ...

METHOD OF INSULATING A BUILDING

A method of insulating a building that includes one or more existing external walls (2) and an existing roof structure (4) supported by the walls, comprises constructing a first external shell structure (24a) that covers an outer surface of at least one external wall, said shell structure being spaced from the outer surface of the wall to provide a wall void (28) between the external wall and the shell structure. A second shell structure (24b) is constructed that extends around or through the existing roof structure (4) and provides an enclosed roof void (26b) that extends around or through the roof structure. The roof void (26b) is interconnected with the wall void (26a). The wall void (26a) and the roof void (26b) are filled with an insulating material to provide an insulating layer (28) that extends substantially continuously through the roof void and the wall void.

METHOD FOR INSTALLING INSULATION

A method for installing dry cellulose fiber insulation into a stud cavity includes the initial step of attaching a non-elastic reinforced polyethylene vapor barrier membrane to the interior faces of the studs, plate and sill forming a plurality of stud cavities in a building structure having an exterior wall. The staples are oriented vertically and spaced apart along the stud interior faces a distance which permits excess air pressure to escape between the membrane and the stud interior face between the staples. The staples are oriented horizontally along the sill and plate interior faces. An access hole is then formed in the membrane to access each stud cavity, and located approximately one-fourth to one-fifth of the distance downwardly from the upper sill to the lower plate. A pneumatic hose is then inserted through the access hole with the dispensing nozzle located at the bottom of the stud cavity. Dry cellulose fiber insulation is then pneumatically inserted into the stud cavity while ...

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PLACING LOOSE-FILL OR FOAM-IN-PLACE INSULATION IN FRAMED WALLS DURING CONSTRUCTION

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PLACING LOOSE-FILL OR FOAM-IN-PLACE INSULATION IN FRAMED WALLS DURING CONSTRUCTION - Ian M. Platts A method and apparatus is disclosed for placing loose-fill or foam-in-place insulation in the cavities of framed walls or like constructions prior to applying the interior finish. The moveable formwork apparatus makes use of the wall's plastic film vapour barrier as an integral part of the formwork; where a vapour barrier is not required, the film may be used movably with the apparatus. The apparatus holds the film onto and slightly around the wall's vertical frames so as to draw the film tight and prevent it from bulging through the plane of the interior finish as the insulation is installed, while also preventing the intrusion and lodging of insulation between film and framing; these attributes are critical in allowing the interior finish to be applied readily and normally. A rigid, transparent plate can be hung in place to support the film where conditions might ...

USE OF NETTING MATERIAL TO SUPPORT CELLULOSE INSULATION IN FRAMED WALLS DURING CONSTRUCTION

A method of supporting loose fill insulation in a wall cavity with a flexible netting. The netting is secured to the wall cavity frame by fastening the upper and lower edges of the netting to the upper and lower wall joists with a multiplicity of spaced apart fasteners, and gluing the two side edges of the netting to the left and right vertical studs with a flowable adhesive. A small slit is made in the netting to accommodate the insulation nozzle, which is preferably angled at its end to facilitate reaching into small spaces and cracks. Loose fill insulation is blown into the cavity behind the netting after inserting the insulation hose through the slit in the netting.
