The Kore Insulation Quiz

A thermal bridge occurs whenever there is a break in a building’s envelope. You can find these breaks around windows and doors, around services like cables and plumbing, and at common junctions such as the wall, roof and floor. A thermal bridge is essentially a way for heat and energy to escape from the building, making insulation less effective.

CWI stands for Continuous Insulation or Continuous Wall Insulation. It is a type of insulation that is used in walls to provide a continuous thermal barrier and improve energy efficiency. By insulating the walls, CWI helps to prevent heat transfer and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. This can lead to reduced energy consumption and lower heating or cooling costs. Therefore, CWI is commonly used in walls to enhance the insulation and overall energy performance of buildings.

When retrofitting an existing building, you can upgrade the wall, floor and roof insulation

KORE'S EPS is infinitely recyclable. This sustainable material will last the lifetime of a building, and can be recycled for other uses such as product packaging.

True, u-values measured in W/m²·K, measures the rate of heat transfer through an assembly. The lower the U-Value the better insulated the building element is, for example the wall or floor.

Part L 2019 conservation of fuel and energy dwellings sets out the requirements of insulation in new and existing buildings.

True, to achieve Passive House Certification from the Passive House Institute, a house must be constructed with thermal insulation achieving a U-Value of 0.15 or less. All which can be achieved with KORE Insulation

EPS, also know as airpop, is a light weight, sustainable product made of 98% air

EPS stands for Expanded Polystyrene. Polystyrene is a type of plastic that is commonly used for packaging and insulation purposes. Expanded Polystyrene refers to the process in which the polystyrene material is expanded and molded into various shapes and forms. This expanded form of polystyrene is lightweight, rigid, and has excellent thermal insulation properties, making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as packaging materials, disposable food containers, and building insulation.

KORE manufacture wall, floor and roof insulation, as well as void formers for civil applications and non insulation products such as product packaging, EPS for marine applications and EPS for art work, movie and tv sets
