SEMPATAP THERMAL An economical solution
Everybody in the country is acutely aware of the astronomical increases , 45 %, in gas and electricity prices – households throughout the country are suffering and the plight of solid wall homes appears to be even more desperate . Improving the thermal efficiency of solid wall properties has largely been ignored mainly because the solutions have been very expensive and very disruptive hence , the title “ hard to heat homes ”.
The UK ’ s housing stock is estimated at approximately 25 million homes , 36 % are solid wall constructed – solid brick , solid stone , pre 1944 timber frame and non-traditional , concrete construction ( PRC ’ s ). These homes are generally energy inefficient ; an unfilled cavity wall loses approximately 35 % of heat – a solid wall loses a staggering 45-50 %.
Fuel poverty is a major issue that the Government has made a commitment to eliminate in vulnerable groups and to end it altogether by the year 2030 . It is currently estimated that there are up to 3.26 million ( Oct 22 ) households now in fuel poverty and this figure is expected to rise
Sempatap Thermal is quick and easy to apply and at only 10mm thick it can be installed without having to vacate the property
even further with the continued increase in the cost of living . 66 % of these households live in solid wall homes , the majority of which are vulnerable householders , therefore , the most vulnerable families live in the most fuel inefficient properties .
Illnesses such as influenza , heart disease and strokes are all exacerbated by the cold . Exposure to cold results in a 30 % increase in the death rate in the UK . Solid wall homes are also more prone to condensation , which results in black mould growth on the walls and ceilings , which is also a very serious health risk causing upper respiratory infections – asthma and bronchial complaints .
Sempatap Thermal is a unique insulation material which has been extensively used in the UK and Europe for over 30 years and installed in 1000s of flats and houses . It is insulation on a roll as easy as wallpaper to apply , and can be decorated with virtually anything – wallpaper , emulsion paint , even tiled .
Sempatap Thermal is quick and easy to apply and at only 10mm thick it can be installed without having to vacate the property , it can even be applied on a DIY basis . It has been tested by the National Physical Laboratory and figures from the Building Research Establishment show considerable energy saving and it has a life expectancy of 30 years .
Once applied to the walls / ceilings Sempatap Thermal substantially reduces heat loss , saves on heating bill expenditure and rooms immediately feel warmer .
