the thermal properties of uncompressed
bulk insulation that was installed and as
a result significantly reduces the Centre’s
energy requirements.
An added benefit, and in this case the key
driver of such an installation, is the improved
insulation provided to a building. Scheltema’s
solution revolves around a spacer system
that is essentially a raised structure upon
which new roof cover is installed. The
space between the existing and new roof
introduces the potential to completely reinsulate the building. Bulk insulation installed
in this space offers significant energy saving,
as the insulation does not compress, thereby
allowing it to perform to specification and
comply with SANS 10400 XA requirements.
Scheltema’s System comes with an
independent engineer’s sign off at key
milestones during the installation. It also
provides significant cost savings compared
with market alternatives and the feel good
factor of utilising a locally designed and
manufactured product.

system or to obtain a quote, please contact
