Isover launches space age steel frame insulation system SF3+

摘要

SF3+, a complete steel frame insulation system designed to help specifiers and contractors meet thermal, acoustic and fire performance requirements using sustainable glass wool products, has been launched by Saint-Cobain Isover. This latest innovation from Isover offers a non-combustible, eco-friendly solution to the increasingly onerous requirements of Part L without increasing the thickness of a building's walls and consequently reducing the internal footprint. The standard system can already deliver U-values below 0.24 W/m~2K To help specifiers reduce carbon footprints, Isover's innovative SF3+ system for use in lightweight steel frame infill walling comprises three elements - steel frame infill batts, steel frame batts and self-adhesive cavity barriers, all of which are Euroclass A fire rated and therefore far superior in terms of product combustibility than foam plastic insulation products. One further option that can be used in conjunction with the SF3+ system is Isover's unique intelligent climate membrane Vario that delivers exceptional benefits for air leakage control and protection against toxic fumes. For thermal, fire and acoustic insulation, the 1,200mm x 1,200mm foil faced steel frame batts are simply fixed to the outside of the steel studwork and the 1,200mm x 600mm steel frame infill batts then push-fitted between the studs.
